I don't know.  I imagine the programs themselves will run just fine.  The
issue will be whether or not the output gets to the printer.  It would be
great if someone will a little windows know-how would try it.

The code is basically there. I've worked on some of the image positioning
code and I'd like to do some sanity test checking on the
various printers.  If there are desires for certain printers I'll do those first.

I can bring the profiles I have over to windows.

The profiles are identical -- the code that converts grayscale to 
printer dots is identical.  Anyone with Mac profiles can just copy them over.
