Hi,
I just installed Mandrake 7.0 but I can't get to print on our Network
Printer which is a hosted on a WinNT machine. With RedHat 6.0 I could be
able to print, but with Mandrake 7.0 I can't even with the same
settings. I don't want to go back to RH 6.0 coz I like Mandrake better.
I have tried
uninstall the lpd rpm and its dependencies and install the ORIGINAL mandrake
6.1 rpm and associated dependencies.
I had the same problem and there appears to be a bug in all versions after
original 6.1 version.
Cheers:
Michael Perry.

If you have a custom boot disk for mandrake, the simplest thing is
probably to load DOS from a floppy and type fdisk /mbr. This will
reformat your master boot record DOS style, which means that you won't
be able to boot linux. But you should be able to get into windows, and
you can boot linux
The floppy disk should do the trick. Just boot from it. Then rerun lilo
from within linux. This will overwrite W98. You may need to edit your
lilo.conf file first, to make sure it has windows as an option, on the
correct partition.
cheers

It's probably best putting your location (ie-your country) on postings like

a very wide variety of countries.
