I have a Pentium 200MMX with 32 MB RAM and I am running Win98

I bought a HP500C used for cheap, and it didn't come with drivers.  I installed
the drivers that come with Win98.  It won't print FROM ANY WIN98 program (MS
Works, Word97, Notepad or Wordpad) - it just prints smudgy lines.

It prints PERFECT from WordPerfect6.0 for DOS, tho!  

Also the printer has two additional "Font Cartridges" that pop into the top
like video game casettes.

Any help is greatly appreciated, otherwise I will have to go bald faster
pulling my hair out!  ;)

Thanks-

Louis
