Hi Supratim,
This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's
related. I use 86box to emulate IBM PC (but it'll emulate anything
up to Pentium III class machine (if I remember correctly). One of
the emulated LPT/PRN devices is the Epson dot-matrix printer. It
works really well (it generates pngs, which I put into pdf and
print on my laserjet). I have no idea whether they borrowed the
device from another emulation or what. I only use it from DOS, but
86box will probably run Win 98 without too much trouble.
Later,
Will

Hi
Possibly off-topic, but does anyone know of
or use some sort of a Epson or whatever 24-pin dot matrix
printer simulator that would, for example, create a virtual
parallel port for other simlated instances of operating
systems (Windows 98SE for example) to print to? Ideally it
would understand escape sequences for NLQ fonts etc.
Thanks
