  I understand each single word in what you say -- but when you put them
  together, I get lost:-}}   I've heard of device drivers, console and
  prn -- but don't know how they relate to this printer (which is
  hooked up to another computer).

  If I look at printers in the control panel, I can see that printer is
  assigned to port DOT4_001 on this computer, but don't know what that
  means.
