C# service printing

Question

Does anyone know if the following kb article applies to the .NET framework 1.1?

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324565

It states: 'Any service that is designed to print must directly use the Win32 APIs, instead of the .NET Framework Printing classes.'...'This behaviour is by design'

Is this true? Can we not safely use the C# printing API when running as a service?

I am creating a console app that will run as a service. A major function of this app will create and send print documents to a local printer. It is written in C# and uses the PrintDocument class.

Has anybody successfully written something like this using the C# printing API.
