First I read the manual ;-))
It said: hook up keybooard, mouse, speakers, Printer on USB, Monitor and start your new machine.

It did that and the machine performs excellently.
The printer is recognized correctly by name in Device Manager but does not show up in Printermenu.
It makes dingdong sound when dis/connected.
All I see in Printers are Microsoft Office Writer? MS XPS Document Writer? One Note?
Using Add Printer does not work as nowhere I find my Lexmark to attach.

How to proceed?
