I have been trying various ways of doing this but no good so far.

When I had my printer attached via a parallel cable I could get the
laptop to find it as a network printer and so I could set it up.

Now it is in effect a new printer, because it is linked via a USB cable
I cannot get the laptop to see it. I must be doing something wrong, or
not doing something right. I find it very strange that USB is not
working as simply as parallel.

No doubt there is a simple answer somewhere.
