Default Win7 printer hint

Talk of the WinXP printer woes reminded me of a problem I had to fix
recently. We have a printer attached to a WindowsXP box but we wanted to
access it from a new Win7 box.

Try as I might I could not get it to work until I found a website which
explained that I needed to plug the printer directly into the Win7 box,
install the drivers, and then I could unplug it and configure it as a
networked printer.

Simple but I was cursing a lot until I figured it out so I hope this saves
someone the irritation.

Paul DS.
