OK. Or she could probably broaden her choices a bit more by considering
some USB printers, but even those are somewhat hard to find (as to being
Win98SE compatible) But I know at least some still have Win98SE drivers (but
most likely in the older series, and not the newest ones coming out).

Hi all,
I guess I will have to "nurse " this old printer along and hope it will last
as long as this computer. I have been looking around for one that will work
with this OS. I have not found one yet. Wish me luck on finding one.
When classes start on Monday, this old printer will get a work out. Last
year the Prof. called my computer "an old dinosaur". Yes Gary, I am taking
classes again. This one is called "Philosophy of Expression". It keeps the
mind from going stale. It challenges it. Of course, I enjoy the classes. If
I didn't, I would not take them.

Well, as you can imagine, since I currently don't have the room to set up my
Konika-Minolta or HP color laser printers (and the wife's business has first
claim on them), I have one scavenged Deskjet Printer that I can only make
work sometimes, and you can't have it!

Bill, sometimes the Windows ME driver works --- does for me with ATI Radeon
9800 XT and the Windows 2000 driver for my HP Printer after HP removed all
the 98 drivers for it from there website so 98 users do have options if they
are smart enough to use them --- grin. I certainly would not trust any
Windows XP drivers on 98 Second Edition because they are too far apart.
Well, 98 Second Edition users have until at least 2010 before Windows 2000
Professional users are supposed to be left high and dry after end of support
for 2000 Professional and that will be a sad day, imo.

I also do not like Epson printers because my dad had one once and it had
stupid ink monitoring software that had to be removed. No Epson printer ever
again for me unless it is a last resort.
