If I remember correctly, there's something else on the VPC CD that needs to be installed. Look in the VPC help in OS X. There's a pulldown menu for "How to print with Virtual PC".
Have you enabled the USB port in VPC?

You don't need to install a print driver on VPC. VPC includes a driver that allows you to print from the Mac's default printer.

it's running on mac os 9.2.2.
it's not my mac (i killed 9 a long time ago).
[i]Have you enabled the USB port in VPC?
yep!
it looks like there are two kinds of printing in vpc:
-dircetly to the usb port (with win printerdriver)
-via a "virtual printer" (vpc uses the installed printer in 9)
both don't work
