This looks like an hardware problem (bad contacts or failing USB power
supply or something which barely meets electrical specs), so an utility to
look at the USB bus is the best way.
But lacking such a way, try to rule out hardware problems by connecting
the USB printer to another computer, swapping cable, swapping USB hub (if
you use one), using a different USB connection.
It is possible that there is some spec violation, to which only Mandrake
9.0 happens to be sensitive.
