Can't help with the printer but maybe with the mail. Facing exactly the same
problem on Mandrake 6.1 I found help on the Noether Linux page
http://www.noether.freeserve.co.uk
which gives very explicit instructions on how to set up "fetchmail" and
"sendmail". Fetchmail can easily be set up to poll several servers and handles pop
nicely.
With that you need procmail to deliver your post to the correct boxes - the
important thing is to set procmail as your mail delivery agent in your .fetchmailrc
file.
And you need the amazing "Mutt" to read the stuff with - the best mailreader onoffer!
(though needs as editor to be seen at its best!)
The best place for guidance on procmail and Mutt, apart from their home pages
is
hhtp://www.roadrunner.swansea.linux.org.uk/~hobbit/cave.html.
Telsa has there set-up files for both procmail and mutt which are VERY heavly
annotated and enable even someone like me to them up.
Hope this will release you from Windows!

By the way - almost forgot - all these wonderful programs are on the Mandrake 6.1 CD!
