I have just purchased the Canon i470D printer. Mandrake 9.1 has lots of drivers for Canon printers, but none specifically for this model. Is there one that is compatible? I have tried a couple, and the pages come out 1/4 the normal size! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I haven't been able to get my SimpleTech Flashlink to work with Mandrake 8.1 - it keeps getting identified (after modprobe) as a 1 gig scsi drive, even without a card in it. I suspect that the fact that it's a combination reader, for both Compact Flash and Smart Media, might be the problem. At
