Many thanks for your help. I think I'll find another way to connect the printer so that's accessible to all my machines.
One way is to install the lpr component in Windows. You will also need to install a postscript printer driver. I don't have any Windows machine here so I can't guide you through. Search the web for lpr and your Windows version.

Thanks, Charles. Windows is on a dual boot laptop, so it's not very practical to have it always on, with a printer hanging off it. That's why I was looking for a solution that covered Windows > Linux > printer. I'm currently looking at getting a router with a dedicated USB printer port.
