Hi,
when i plug a "Generic text/only usb printer" to my pc with windows 2000 a
"virtual printer port for USB" (USB001) is add and i can print correctly.

But when i plug the same printer with windows 98, the "Add New Hardware
Wizard" appears, i points to my Usbprint.inf to install Usbprint.sys
(release 4.10.2223.1). I can see "Usb printing support" in "settings/control
panel/system/usb controllers" but no new port "usb00x" appears in printer
properties box.
How can i do to see a virtual port (usb00x) ?

Thank you for help
