<div>This is what I found: 379 files,

<div>I presume this is the required printer driver.</div>

<div>Does the fact that is a "GZip Compressed File" affect
anything?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So if it is "there" where it should be, why is the
Printer Setup Utility not finding it?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I found a one day newer version in the same directory on another
partition, so have replaced the old one with the newer one.</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>Since I am using the printer over the USB cable, is that not
already "another protocol" that in fact proves that the
driver<u> is</u> in fact installed?</div>
<div><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>For example try choosing "IP
Printing" and entering the printer's IP address and give that a
shot. That would at least prove whether Rendezvous might be the
problem.</blockquote>

<div>I shall run some more tests tomorrow morning and report
back.</div>

<div>Thanks for your help.</div>
