OK, Bud. I do understand that you thoroughly researched this issue. But
now it's time for you to trust me :-)
This WILL work.
Windows 98 does not support VM Additions....you are correct. That is
why you cannot use the VM Additions printer driver.
Follow the steps in the kb article that I gave you and select the Epson
AP3260 ESC/P2 printer driver. Make sure it's set to be the default
printer. In PC Settings, enable USB and set Printing to 'Default Mac
Printer'. On the Mac side, make sure the printer is set as Default and
CLEAR the print queue. Then try a simple test page from NotePad in
Windows
Again.....trust me.
