Hi Joseph!
I used the Hp DeskJet 550C/560C/6xxC driver.
I also found out what the problem is.
Apparently there may be a bug in lpr rpms following the one in mandrake
6.1.
Every subsequent release seems to have a bug when it comes to printing
through a Winblows box.
I just uninstalled lpr rpm and dependent rpm's and deleted the
/var/spool/lpd/lp directory.
Then I installed the lpr rpm from Mandrake 6.1 and associated
dependencies and then re-installed the abovementioned printer driver.
Now everything works perfectly :-)
I hope the bug patrol are paying attention to this problem, but all in
all the Mandrake 7.0 seems to be quiet an improvement on 6.1
I will have all weekend to play around with it, both on my Sons
Computer, and on mine, so youall be ready for a few questions etc come
Monday eh!
All the best:
Mike.
