Hi,
Yes, you can install printer drivers and we've done it through C++ Custom

I bothered Rob about this a week ago and he reckons it is about 2 months
away from being usable. It seems to be good, but due to the lack of docs
right now you'll have to get stuck into the source to understand the
bootstrapper schemas. I wish I had the time to do that and contribute back.
It looks interesting, but there is an error ' Pipes encountered a problem
while running this pipe: malformed engine data (2)'. Did it choke on a bad
