I am fairly sure that I did. These are the files in c:\mint\1-16-cur

That hard part seems to be finding apps that don't use their own
printer dialogue.

I tried to open the printer cpx in COPS and nothing happened.

The only other odd thing was in CAB 2.7. I printed my homepage
which has a cyan background and after the print the onscreen page
background went green until I forced it to redraw.

I also tested some apps that use non-standard printer dialogues and
they print ok.
