I checked the Internet and couldn't find specific NT drivers for that printer. You may consider three things here:- 1. Get a new printer which works under WinNT. 2. Change the O/S to WinXP SP1 which definitely has USB support. 3. Change the O/S to Win98SE and use the right drivers for the printer which I'm positive can be done. Preferred option as far as I'm concerned would be to upgrade to WinXP AND get a new printer. This may not be an option for you as you will have to buy WinXP and the printer. You can buy a printer these days for a lot less than what the Epson would have cost earlier. If your current machine can run WinNT and has USB and LPT ports there then go to WinSE. Bear in mind that WinNT and Win98SE are soon to be dumped for support by Microsoft but that may not be a problem for you. Well it won't be a problem as you have us here to help. :-)	Elephant (599)

I make love very gently as I have the same sort of balls you have and I don't want to break them. :-) Please don't consider this a flame as I respect your opinion.	Elephant (599)
