All sounds good, can the printer output a status page showing you its IP
address?

But the printer doesn't show on the PC in the list of Devices and
Printers, and it's not offered as a printer choice when I want to print
something.


Have you added the printer as a device?

I'm a bit rusty on Win7 printers, so start with the MS page ...
