Hi Mark. Always nice to hear from you. But no, I'm not using a USB printer with the VPC 3 w/Win95. I did use USB with VPC 4/win98 and I had it connected to a USB printer. Works like a charm. My Epson 900 has a USB, serial and parallel. But my installation of VPC 3 w/win95 works pretty decent on my 200mhz 604e. Just wish it would print right to the mac serial port.
