looking for Compaq C3 1000 Printer Driver

I am fixing an old computer for a Navy Chaplain and he has a Compaq C3 1000 printer that he wants to keep. He is staying with Windows ME for whatever reason and I am unable thus far to find a driver for it.

On Compaq's website it is called the Compaq A1000 Printer

ME Drivers are there

I went to Compaqs website and downloaded the driver for ME. It still doesnt work and upon any reboot, tells me "a1000 caused a problem and mmsystem.dll will close."

mmsystem.dll? that's strange. di you also download the update? i noticed there was an update for ME

does it actually say ....

Spool32 has caused an error in mmsystem.dll ????
