But I'm back for another session.

So, the printer now works from all the computers, both RISC OS (Two OS
versions) and Windows (Two OS versions).

Now comes the really really brown stuff question, and this always has been
a PITA since day one with VRPC. 
I have on occasion got it to work when the printer was directly connected
to the Underlying PC, but never successfully network connected even in the
past I had a print server as part of the NAS.

Getting printing to work from VRPC-AdjustSA, as no matter what I enter
into the Connections dialogue as described in the VRPC manual, Printer
section, has proven impossible.

Some advice please chaps.

Thanks
Dave

Info:
VRPC-Adjust SA, RO 6.20  Running under Win XP-SP3
RO Printers+ version 1.91a
RO driver is HP LaserJet 5 (HostFS::HP_LaserJet_5 in the dialogue produces
the usual "Disk not found")

The actual printer on the LAN has the Host name of NPIA3D893
