I only responded to the first part of your message, sorry. You normally would not have to put your printer into /etc/modules. I believe it is compiled into the Mandrake kernel. For example, the only thing in my /etc/modules is scsi_hostadapter and usb-storage, and Mandrake put both entries there for me.
