Could still be useful, if you don't mind the port monitor making decisions 
about where to put the output file ;-) Seriously, it would mean error 
dialogs going missing too, so its probably of very limited value.

It sounds like it needs quite a bit of work, and I can't see any sign of 
anyone supporting it. I don't have any up to date API information on coding 
for the print system in Windows Vista, so I'm not really in a position to 
help I'm afraid.
