Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have a problem printing through
Virtual PC.

I'm using VPC 2.1.2 on a PowerBook G3 Series/250 with MacOS 8.5.1, and Win95
(64MB RAM allocated) with the latest HP Win95 drivers just downloaded from
the HP site.

When I try to print from Win95 to the PostScript 6MP driver to LPT1:, I get
pages of gibberish, as if the printer was set for PCL but receiving raw PS.
I thought this was an auto-sensing printer. I also have the latest Mac
LaserWriter 8.6 driver, and a Desktop Printer defined with HP's PPD for the
6MP.

The VPC Preferences say to print through a PS driver. What gives? Should I
use a generic Apple LaserWriter driver? Or is something wrong with my
configs?

Thanks,
