Out of curiosity I checked Mepis.org. I have been using Mandriva since a fellow plug member coaxed me to use it, version-9.1 (I was using PCQLinux 7.1 and earlier). I started using Linux when Slackwear was the (probably) only Linux distribution and later RedHat was a small shop on Steven Creek Boulevard (if I remember correctly), San Jose!
If it is not too much of a hassle I would urge you to switch to Mandriva 2007. The story: I was using Mandriva 2006 happily with this PSC 1315. One day I felt I am using too old hplip driver... I messed up similar way like you did now, except that my installation of bleeding edge hplip failed and I had in the mean time disturbed my existing hplip. [This was around Jan 2007] so I tried Mandriva 2007 when I discovered that scanner had stopped functioning. Till I had time (usually saturday) I did not pay attention to it. And last saturday I fixed scanner problem in the way I already wriote to the list. My dream: to start using Slackwear again.... but I am too lazy right now. श्रीधराय नम: :-)
