I've been using Mandrake for a while, but I'm relatively new to Cooker, so 
bear with me if this sounds a bit newbiish (as it is :).

I was wondering how to go about getting a certain manufacturer's ghostscript 
driver included in the mandrake gs package (specifically Samsung's driver for 
the ml-4500 and ml-6040, which is GPL'd, and is available as a src-rpm here: 
http://www.samsungelectronics.com/support/downloads/printer/dn_5407_en.html 
-- its called gdi, yes I know that is very misleading, but that's the name 
:). I have managed to kind of kludge it into the most recent gs build in 7.2 
(just added gdevgdi.c into the makefile's list of drivers), but I don't feel 
I have to time to do it "properly" until the school semester ends and I have 
a break. And I have no idea how to generate a cups ppd file for it, so I'm 
stuck with lpr for now. I think a couple other people I talked to at 
www.linuxprinting.org had this printer also. Not that I'm in any hurry, just 
wanted to try out cups and kill lpd. :)
