Thanks to Kevin Cummings for your help, but I finally was able to get it
all working after stepping away for a bit.

But by doing as you instructed, and adding a generic (key word there
when looking for printer driver), and then raw queue driver, I was
finally able to get the Win Vista laptop to find it and use the printer.
The laptop connected fine and printed a nice test page.  Installing HP's
own printer driver on the laptop now and gonna print a regular test page
(txt file or something) just to make sure.
