Selmer found this bug on his system: Using 7/18 branch on win98, I tried to print to a bogus printer (the "Rendering Subsystem" from some fax software.) I didn't expect it to do anything useful, but it actually crashed in gkgfxwin. Talkback ID = TB33049872W.
Did this crash in the diver..or the app. If you do this in 4.x does it crash also. I added printers that I did not have, and things worked great. I also added printers to bogus ports, etc, and that worked fine. I can not repro.. do you have a receipe and the bogus drivers needed.

I'll have to look at this at home. I got a win98 box a long while back and it had some fax software already installed. The fax software puts a thing in the printer list that says something like "don't use this" but I used it anyway. I'll try to give better details when I'm at home.
This is a wont fix until I get a a test case.
