I reinstalled VRPC several months ago. Before that I hgad printing working.
I just tried to follow the instructions. First type Printers at a command prompt. I get a "file not found".
I tried entering the hostfs path to the printer anyway. Attempts to print result in Disc not found.
Anyone know what is wrong?

I have no idea, it's a new one on me. The *Printers command is supplied by HostFS, so it that's missing it means HostFS is missing, which plainly can't be right. I suggest re-installing again over the top of the existing installation, other than that give me a ring when you are in front of the machine.

Thanks Aaron - reinstalling has fixed it. Having installed over the top, what is the status of the various downloads I had installed - do I need to install them again, or will they still be there? I see the 8M VRAM is working, so that at least has survived.

That's an interesting question, and the answer is that I simply don't know. My suggestion is to check your CD serial number against the upgrades o the website. Then try installing the first upgrade that applies and see what happens. It should either install or tell you that the upgrade has been already installed. Just carry on from there.
P.S. Don't forget to take a backup of VRPC in it's current form first.
