Have you pointed a browser at http://localhost:631, and gotten the cups 
configuration pages?

I find using them is the easiest way to deal with printer problems.

I have had problems recently with lp0 getting taken my mtink when I checked my 
Epson C80 for ink levels.

If that does not work, what is the printer you are using, and what version of 
Mandrake are you running?
