File did not show up so used socket as you suggested.  Printer then 
installed and worked fine.  Unfortunately I would not have known how to do 
this without asking here.

Thank you.

Its a GDI printer with linux packaged drivers that are 32 bit and use a 
different packaging system than my distro - which "out of the box" is 64 bit 
only.  So its a always a bit of a pain.

Works - that's the crucial thing.

For info it still does not show up from lpinfo:- but this causes no issue to 
me.

bash-4.1# lpinfo -v
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct scsi
network socket
network smb
bash-4.1#

Makes sense, file:// and then the relative path.
