Hi, all. I installed Mandrake 8.2 a couple of months ago, and during the install, the system recognized my printer with no problem. Last week, we had a power outage, and since then, the printer doesn't respond. I get an Error: can't open output device when I use the Printer Utility Program.

OK, a newbie problem. I installed Mandrake 8.2 Thursday night. Was able to connect to the internet with my Cisco uBR900 cable model (through Adelphia), but only after some fiddling with the Mandrake Command Center (it didn't work immediately after installation). Today, I was using
