Mandrake must be providing a suitable driver. OK - when I tried to print over the lan, only a couple of weeks ago, I had much the same problem. I eventually got as far as having a readable file in a spool directory, but still couldn't get it to print. On the advice of Stephen Kuhn, I installed the windows driver on the windows machine, saying that I wanted to install over the network. I can't recall the exact sequence, but it then allows you to browse to the printer on the host machine, in my case it's //anne-linux/printer. Go throught the whole normal installation, but don't print a test page. Take the re-boot, then call up the printer in the usual My Computer/Printers folder, and print a test page from there.
