It would help if you posted what you tried, and the resulting error messages.

Barring that, I would suggest:

visible_hostname karl-desktop.mydomain

Just as I typed it.

Note you dont need to uncomment it, as there is no default...
Matters not to the parser where in squid.conf it is located, but for humans, 
it's convenient  to have it under TAG: visible_hostname or at the end of the 
file.
