I am disappointed in HP, but you are correct, their website is very clear
that they no longer provide drivers for win98, even on older hardware.
Funny, what would it cost HP to leave a few Meg of driver files on a server,
compared to the business they risk losing as people realize that they are
willing to provide poor support?
However, a Google search on "HP 932C drivers 98" got many hits. Here are
some that looked promising:

http://www.dirfile.com/hp_deskjet_932c_printer_driver_v_4_3.htm
Plan B: Find a friend with a similar printer and hope that he can find the
CD.
Plan C: Try drivers for a similar HP primter, something else in the 9xx
series. Be sure that they are intended for win98.
For future reference: Keep all original CDs (or disk images of them), and
also keep updated drivers, ussally as *.EXE files downloaded from hardware
makers.
