Three questions:
(1) Does anyone have any idea how to get Windows 7 to add a USB printer? In Add Printer the only options are "Add a Local Printer" (which states that this is not to be used for a USB Printer) or add Network Printer (which this is not). So therefore there's no way to add a USB printer at all.
And since Windows 7 doesn't detect the HP LaserJet 1320 that's plugged into a USB port then there's nowhere to go.
(2) What does it mean to "Add a printer port" and give it a name when there's no way of specifying which hardware the "printer port" is connected to?
(3) Windows 7 seems happy to let you simply add a "Local Port" and give it some name, and then add a printer driver and print to this completely meaningless port. (Presumably the output just goes nowhere?) What is supposed to be happening here?
