"In fact adding hardware generally is a pest but printers are the worst."

Odd you should say that. A few years ago I set up a very old Dell box for a cousin using Linux and also an ancient Time box (Zorin in fact). Last year they acquired a laptop with W10 <spit> and an HP inkjet. The laptop was supposed to find and set up the printer on the wireless network and wasn't doing so. It appeared that it was trying to assign the printer an address on a different subnet to that in use. I eventually sorted it out from the Dell with the aid of a USB lead.

Yup. Printers are the worst. Especially if you're relying on Windows.
