using the USB port for a printer with Win98
To anyone with information about the viability of
Windows98 and a printer using the USB port. My system tells me that the USB controller is on board but I get no print command action to the printer. (only the progress meter which notes no problem and says it's printing.) I've a CanonMultipass360 and don't want to change the Windows system I have. It's slow but dependable. If there's a way I can update what I need (I understand Win98 2nd ed is cabable of using the USB port) Do I need the 2nd ed as a minimun requirement system for this application? Does Microsoft have a download I can use to fix the problem with my current system? thanks |
