Hi, James!

If you select "Windows System Printer", Acad *will* use the Windows System 
Printer and Windows Print Manager.  Are you sure you have the *Windows* 
version of Acad installed?  I'll look more at my system for further evidence 
to help out.  I think I just installed the "Windows System Printer" from the 
add new plotter menu of the config routine.
