I renamed Euphoria to something else then installed Eu 2.2 on the XP. 
That is all I changed. The Printer Dialog works again. I renamed 
Euphoria to something else and then installed Eu 2.3 from the zip file 
version. The Printer Dialog works. Maybe my first installation had a 
problem -- but on both machines? I'll see if doing this also clears up 
the problem with the Win98 machine and report back.
