I've got an old laptop running Win98SE which I've given to a friend. She's trying to get an Epson C42UX printer working on it and can't. I've had a look and it's getting recognised by Windows fine and all of the Epson USB drivers work. The Epson software to query the printer about the ink cartridges also works fine.

The problem is that Windows has decided not to spool anything at all. Nothing ever happens when you try to print. It doesn't complain and doesn't know about any errors or faults. I've reinstalled the printer software and it hasn't helped.

Anybody got any ideas about how to convince Windows to actually print?
