No - I did not - I was not aware of this. My previous private pc and the Dell
from work both picked up the printer without any interference from my side -
and the Vaio picked up my Deskjet F380 also without any preparations or
assistance from my side. But I'm willing to try your suggestion - I'll let
you know if it works.

There seems to be no way to make my Sony Vaio with Vista print to my HP
LaserJet 1300 - any suggestions on how to make this work?
