As long as its not a crippled Winprinter in which case he will never
be able to print from anything other than Windows. Buyer beware of
those cute "Windows" logos on hardware devices. Actually, buyer beware
of anything that says "Windows". 

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winprinter#GDI_printers, which sounds
like what he has. I have a similar POS.
