I'd say "Don't use CUPS" but since I'm new to using Mandrake and all of its
intricacies, I could be in left field. Does Mandrake still ship with
RedHat's printtool? Or can it be rpm'd in without too many dependacy
nightmares?
Otherwise, there's always the LDP:

I set up an HP 4000N, but it talked straight Postscript. (not sure if your
III is, I'm sure you know) Didn't take much more than an hour from finding
the HOWTO to printing stuff.

Hello
I just wisited these sites, but one question. I have an HP LaserJet III P,
which I can't bring to work propperly,
since I upgraded to the Mandrake 7.2. Under the 7.1 it worked great, but
with CUPS - no. My other printer (Epson
Photo) on the other hand works much better now.
I have tried to upgrade to the CUPS-1.1.5, but then I have to upgrade the
glibc to 2.2 first, and it results in a
list of more than 40 dependency-problems, so I will waite for the next
version (7.3?) on CD, caused by a 56K modem.
But back to my question: does anybody know 'exactely' how to get the most
out of the HP?
Thanks for any reply
