Sure...it's at
http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi
HOWEVER, it only covers printers...there's a "hardware
compatibility list" on RedHat's site somewhere, and
whatever is compatible with RedHat, *SHOULD* work with
Mandrake. :-)
You may want to try different HP printers drivers in the
list, or just specify it as a "postscript" printer. I think
I read that most HP printers (even some "win printers")
could be used as generic "PostScript" printers.
