I've got the Sharp JX-730 Color InkJet printer, with a Win3 driver.
The first version of the driver would cause an UAE whenever I started
an application which could print.  It was also over 500KB!  The next
version I got was down to about 200KB.  It works OK, I got PaintBrush
to print out some .BMP files in color without much trouble.
CorelDraw came out pretty good too, although you can probably get
better results if you specify a PostScript printer and save the
output in a file, then sending it through a PostScript interpreter.
I use Freedom of Press, which also supports the JX-730.

Just a curiosity, since I never tried it: what happens if you try to
print a color file (ie., from Corel or PaintBrush) to a B/W
dot-matrix?  To an HP LaserJet?
