[wellylug] USB printer in Mandrake

[Joseph Booth - Project Services]

If it helps - I think recently got one of them (C20UX) going for a 
client under Mandrake 9.1 with no major problems.
In fact I can't even remember how I did it.  I'll see if I can find 
some info, but I think I just plugged it in and deleted the printers 
already in the list and made a new one following all the mandrake setup 
bits and pieces.

If all else fails - try googling.. :)

Sorry to be so vague,
