I have had some success using a laser printer to print steel frame factory windows on 3M Transparency Film for Copiers (PP2500).  I don't own a color laser printer so all of my window frames are black. The printed frames and mullions come out flat black so I simply mount the widows in the wall openings print side out.  I have used these windows on three different industrial buildings to date. Though I haven't tried it yet, you could probably enhance these windows by painting the inside using different shades of paint to blank out the individual panes.

 Looking for a site that has free windows/doors. I found this site to make brick patterns. Good site.

This site has buildings you can download and print. I guess i could do that and cut out and use them.

What i want is a brick building at the back of my diorama with loading dock doors and some windows above that, noething to fancy. Thanks in advance.

 This one looks great and belive you can design your own building, to bad it is out of my price range right now.

Might be getting ahead of myself as i dont even own right now a working color printer, but i guess i does not hurt to start looking now.
