There is an updated set of printer drivers dated, I think, 1/11/93 or somewhere 
around there (or was it 1/4/94?)  These include a new UNIDRV.DLL and .HLP - it 
may be that the Deskjet interface driver (?.DRV) may be looking for this latter driver, 
which would not be on the original WfW discs.  It can be downloaded free from the 
MS BBS on 0118-927-0065 (answer the questions but don't worry about them even 
if you are not a registered user) and it may resolve your problem.
[UNIDRV is in \windows\system and the original is dated 1992.]
