Try CUPS to make it working for the first time. I have already informed
the author of printerdrake to check this problem.

Tried to install beta 2 of Linux-Mandrake today, everything went well
although installation took quite some time, some minor packages like
locales-fa took more than 1 minute to install. But this to the side.
While trying to install my HP Deskjet 720c I selected lpd as the interface
instead of CUPS. Finally you get a window where you can select the type of
printer you have (remote/local etc). I choose for a local printer, after
that I press the button OK, I get a message that "one package is being
installed" and after that the installation hangs. I try to kill X with
control-alt-backspace which gets me to the shell. If I try to halt or reboot
I get some error messages like "sh: cannot find shutdown" and I have to
reset my system in order to get my computer to the land of the living. If I
try to install without printer support I don't face any irregularities.
Greetings.
