If the colours don't actually have to be the same as in the Windows
POV-Ray editor, open the scene file with Vim and do :hardcopy (or
:hardcopy >file.ps). It will print with (colour) syntax-highlighting by
default, if it detects that the printer is capable of colour and/or
greyscale. (If it doesn't, you can :set printopts=syntax:y to force it.)

I suspect one of the many POVing Emacs users will tell you how to do the
same thing in Emacs.
