That printer is a WinPrinter. Even if you had it connected via the parallel port, even a real one, it's not going to work without Windows 98 drivers.

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.
