Many printer makers still have WIn3.1 drivers, and, by now, ones that work,
on their web sites. My Win3.1x drivers for the OKI OL1200 printer, for
example, work OK under '98. I did install the later drivers for WIn9x. I
don't see a significant advantage, however.
You will also need the Win3.1x installation diskettes if there's no printer
already installed.

No a SPELL-CHECKER! It takes BLACK MAGIC to get my computer
to run certain DEMON - possessed software. :)
Some times I wish I had a grammar checker as I often have to rush
off a reply to something. While it is important have a good writing
style it is more important to have something useful to say. Lets drop
English, Middle English or even OLD English for now and get back to
classic computers.
A friend has got a 'free' computer with win 3.1 but no printer or
software
disks. Having found a 'free' printer how would be the best way to
install
printer drivers for the old computer?
