It seems that you have an old version of CUPS with a bug. See
http://www.mandrakeforum.com/commentShow.php3?sid=20001116101952&pid=75
and go to
http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php3?sid=20001214090405
You will find updates for all CUPS-related packages there. To fix your
problem, you need the "cups" and "libcups1" packages.
