Only thing I&#8217;ve really tried to make work so far is a new HP Deskjet 1000 (cheapo one) which taught me that the driver for it had to be OS compatible (HP apparently has removed their available drivers for pre-XP OS&#8217;s)&#8230;and next a Canon PIXMA ip4200 printer (mine) where the Canon driver site shows it&#8217;s compatible with Win98 but doesn&#8217;t mention whether that includes 98SE or not (apparently it doesn&#8217;t as driver failed installation).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also thinking the problem may relate to incompatibility of some sort between old USB 1.0 the PC and OS 2.0 design in the printer, but don&#8217;t know how to check that out from the available data.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, pulling my hair out and preparing to give it up, but this is ridiculous! Having good functional printers that can&#8217;t be mated with good functional (albeit blue haired) PCs\/OSs!
