  1. I am running vmware on a windows 7 64 bit machine and am trying to connect a usb printer to my windows 98 player. The player sees the printer, but windows 98 does not. I have connected it to the windows 98 session. Not sure where to go - I have searched for this, but not found anything.
  2. For instructions on how to download the Printer Driver & Scanner Driver, refer to: 'Download software, drivers, or utilities' 2. Locate the file you downloaded and double click on it. If prompted click RUN.
  3. Oldbie, the problem is solved. I can now print fine to the HP Officejet Pro 8610 with the Windows 98 driver for the HP Deskjet 9800 series printer. When you run the executable to install the 9800 there is an option to install it as a nework printer using a TCP/IP connection (without verifying the printer) and that works fine.
