I have a Host Windows 7 and a Guess MS-DOS 6.22 + Windows 3.11 The host have a USB printer connected and working (HP LaserJet 3380) and shared. The Windows 3.11 (guess) have networking ok, I can share files with the host and I see the printer. But... there is no driver for windows 3.11 !!! How to install this shared printer in Windows 3.11??? Is ther any tip? PS universal driver or something? Thanks

You may have to lie to something somewhere about what the actual attached printer is. -- Andrew
