Three ways:
1) RTFM
2) RedHat-based systems (which Mandrake is) have several simple tools
installed for this kind of thing. In this case "printtool" is what you
want.
3) For a simple dot-matrix, all you really need to do is plug it in and
make sure you have lpr installed and lpd running. RTFM for this.
