ok i am trying to do the first step of running cmd and typing the commands and it keeps saying "destination is not a directory after i press enter on the first command. I am typing it exactly how it says to, what is going on?

Go to the printer's manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the printer. Windows is a 32bit system, and doesn't do a good job with 16bit programs. Get the latest driver, hope it is 32bit, and good luck on the essay.

okay i downloaded the drivers and unzipped them but then i double clicked the setup and got the same error i did with my printer. urgh this is stressful, i dont know what to do.

do u have to leave the exact space in the commands u have to type in those steps? the ones where u use notepad? and all those files I paste over are in the windows/ system32 folder right?

so i just paste on system32 i guess, but i still need to know where the command.com file and if it is the one i copied labeled just Command in system32 folder than i should have done the steps right.

okay i typed out each thing in the notepad exactly how it is in that link. I cannot find the %systemroot% folder under the system32 folder, and im not sure if i copied the "command.com" file, i just copied one in the system32 folder labeled command and thats it. I pasted everything on the system 32 folder because I dont know where the %systemroot% folder is, and it didnt work obviously. Where is this folder and file located? I am running out of time, thanks again for helping if u can. I am in a real dilemma because I dont have a floppy disk drive to save my essay and my burner isnt working either, so i really hope i can get this working.
