I've recently installed Mandrake 8.0 on one of the computers in my small home network. Everything seems to have gone fairly smoothly except setting up a printer. I've got an ancient BJ-10ex attached to a server machine and I followed the Mandrake dialogue to set up remote lpd operation -- something which I've done without any glitches on the various RedHat, Mandrake 7.0, 7.1 and Debian incarnations that my machines have gone through. However, with Mandrake 8.0, the wizard seems to think that the printer's uses Netware protocol rather than remote lpd, which is the box I've always ticked. Even hacking /etc/printcap by hand (using a working copy from a Mandrake 7.1 box) doesn't appear to work. Any ideas??
