still having problems...
i went to reinstall the printer software and it just won't work, when it promps me to plug in the printer it does not detect it...usb port is fine and printer seems fine too, all leads are ok. even after uninstalling it the driver is still there, or it thinks it is...i think i need to maybe remove all traces of the printer software via a' la 'regedit' and then reinstall...
anyone...help....please...

If your installing it from cd then you might be able to fool it by getting the latest driver from the web? Might override it.
Assuming you have run antivirus and spyware software first?
no it not from a cd, from the web, and i tried a couple of times just incase...
i'll do a viris scan now ...

I also used to go into Control Panel, device manager and blow away the printer there before reinstalling. Been a while since I played with 98 though.
checked device manager, but no sign of it...
A long shot, some older bios settings allowed you to set what type of printer.
Are you sure the downloaded driver setup file is for W98 ? If it's a later version, it may not be compatible.

think i'ts time to upgrade my ram defficient laptop to a beefier desktop with XP, won't be a new one but hey apart from today's problem this old laptop was working like crap when i got it and i got it running like a pearl...so buying second hand should'nt be a problem...and best thing is there as cheap as chips, only need it for simple business stuff, photo edit and web...
I rebuild my machines every 6 months or so anyway, keeps them clean and fast and makes you back your stuff up (I am very hard on my machines though). I left win98 in the past long ago, I suggest you do the same. You will be better off for it. Same advice I give to anyone still on 98.
