That's a big "if" there. If they're running Windows98, they clearly have very low expectations for success. As far as the drivers go, I have a sneaking suspicion that HP Legal won't interpret their use of said drivers as infringing. The pocket lawyers here will probably go on a diatribe about that, but let's be realistic here - HP isn't going to sue the Salvation Army for using an ancient Deskjet or its drivers.

What happens if someone wants to give their old HP printer to a charity still running Windows 98? Even if that someone had a copy of the 98 drivers, HP has said including those would be illegal...
