Last to first,

The OS2 print queue (ie LPT1.OS2) talks to the USB connection, so as 
long as the Win-OS2 driver is configured to talk to LPT1.OS2, it should 
work (given you can print from OS/2 to the printer of course).

It is now the case that hardware is not being supplied with Windows 9x 
drivers. As far as M$ is concerned, it's now Windows XP or perhaps 
Windows 2000, otherwise nothing. in otherwords they have now wholly 
switched to the OS/2 kernal from the DOS kernal (it only took them 10 
years!).

Since no Windows 3.x drivers are produced anymore for current hardware, 
you may have a major problem finding any drivers that work, best option 
would have beeb to stick with PCL or postscript if you need to run 
programs under Windows 3.1.

Cheers/2
