   Yes, it has. Of course, I wish it didn't just automatically detect my   
   printer like it does. I would rather it wait until I decide to add one. Of   
   course, there's nothing wrong with just adding another instance of it,   
   making it use my preferred driver and setting it to be the default as I've   
   done. I don't print much either, but every so often I come across a   
   Cyanide & Happiness comic I like, so I print it and post it in my   
   classroom for the kids to get a chuckle.
