I had exactly this problem on Mandrake 8.0, and never figured out a
way to solve it except for reinstalling (I couldn't update) with 8.1.
This turns out to have been a mistake; there are serious problems with
the printing system in 8.1, so if I were you I'd either do the 8.2
beta, or wait until 8.2 comes out officially. I seem to have fixed my
problems with the printing by installing some RPMS (the actual list
you need is at http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=1485) from the
8.2 beta3 distribution.

Mine certainly wasn't. I did the reinstall when I stopped being able
to do rpm even for simple things. I think that version of urpmi or
the GUI that went with it was seriously bad.
