Harvey,
I understand your trouble. I do have an old bundle called: usb-win98se-all.exe
I could try to zip it and my other w98se related usb stuff to try. This bundle
contains the file /usb.inf 25kb 04-23-1999 22:22
Check and see if you have this file already........... :)
If not, this bundle might help.
where can I send to?
Best,
Duncan

I have a friend going through a divorce. He needed a computer and I had an
old W98 SE box that was sitting in a closet I gave him to use till he gets
stuff straigtened out. He bought a little cheap HP USB printer. Well when
I hooked it up and out in the HP disk there is no W98 drivers. (Should
have thought of that) No drivers are availible at HP's site.
The rub is I can't use the W98 generic drivers as when I do, it still
doesn't "see" the printer. Though sometimes, not all the time, I get a
message "unknown usb device" message.
Is there a work around? I will be him a USB to LPT 1 adapter if such a
thing exists.
I am not sure if this system was upgraded from W95 as I seem to remember
that being a cause of some USB problems back in the early days of USB.
I guess I could upgrade it to XP but that will really be a strain on that
old box.
Any help appreciated.
Harvey
