An Epson Stylus Color 600 inkjet.  The only thing that seems to work is the 
SPP (Standard P-Port) setting in the bios settings.  The printer is supposed 
to be IEEE-1284 compliant, at least that's what the specs say.
I know the bios isn't supposed to be used once OS/2 is booted, but I assume 
*this* setting is still important.
I'd sure like to get it working!
