Yeah. They'll recognise text and print that as a backward compatability 
thing, but that's about it. I think the new ones are incapable of even 
that, though. I seem to remember that in winprinters the driver controls 
everything from the motion of the print heads on down - there's a 
rattling head w/o a brain in those printers. It was a while ago that I 
heard about this stuff though, so I could easily be wrong.
