The best way to install the new drivers is to delete your old printer (not
Update the Driver) and start over with adding a printer. The 520 printer
drivers on my Windows 98 CD work fine.

When doing an "Update Printer Drivers" in the Printer Properties, Windows
will ask you to point to newer printer drivers, looking for a disk
containing *new* drivers. You should be able to "browse" to the printer
drivers sub-directory on the Windows 98 CD and install from there. The
sub-directory will be the disk.

If you think you still need the Windows 3.1 drivers, I can send them to you
zipped.
