Oh, and please don't tell me to buy a new printer (seems to be a standard advice given to people with old printers on different forums). Needless to say I haven't the foggiest idea how to make this work. Mint always did whatever it needed to automatically. I have attached some old LINUX advice from Lava. I have never ever had to install it manually using any distribution (as far as I can remember) with this exact same setup and of course it works perfectly in Windows. The printer as I mentioned in the title is an HP deskjet 722c. The printer is attached directly to the computer using a Lava parallel port through an external ATEN printer auto switch. I won't dwell on why its asking for a URL instead of an IP address but it doesn't matter. I tried to 'add' a printer but it only gave me the option of installing a network printer which then asks some gibberish about a url.

I noticed that unlike all previous versions of Mint on this machine, the printer had not been automatically installed.
