Why would one need to run the laser from "almost any program"?
I don't use a dongle, the USB connection is not unstable and I doubt that a WYSIWYG print driver would actually save me any time.
It was only after going to the big sign convention in Las Vegas and looking at all the Western Machines that sold me on the ULS with their software as being the easiest to use, seemed much more polished than Epilog, I'm more of a visual learner anyway so that appealed to me more. I love that I can just load a pre-saved setting/profile and press print!
