I haven't used node or your library, but it looks like getSupportedPrintFormats() gets all the types supported by ALL the print processors (PP) installed. Is that right?

That doesn't mean that the PP of the printer (print job) that you're trying to print to supports it. Each printer (actually each print job) has a PP set, and that PP has a list of supported formats.

So whether 'NT EMF 1.003' is supported depends on the printer's (or print job's) PP.

Cheers, Nick.
