Well, speculatively, I would expect that with the more modern, cheap GDI printers the same problem _could_ occur. Those are the printers that use the windows GDI subsystem to prepare the printed page. I've never seen it happen, though, but then, we still use the same HP deskjet we bought about seven or eight years ago. No problems with most laserjets, either. However, I've never had a problem with either PostScript or TrueType using X Window or GhostScript, so there's always a solution, even if it entails installing another OS ;-).
