As far as we can tell so far the answer is no. They use GDI to draw a bitmap and drive the printer with the bitmap. The point of so called 'GDI' printers is to make the printer as stupid as possible. You'd don't do that by writing windows for printers you do it by using the device independant graphics engine to render a bitmap and then feed it to the printer.
