I just have a desktop system with mandrake. I used the wizard and cups and
called my i560 a bj 7000 (they didnt have i560 drivers yet when I
installed). It works fine but takes 2 minutes to startup. You can bookmark
the cups administration page at localhost in kde as soon as you install it
and find what errors are happening from that page. (because there are so
many ways to access the printers in linux but cups is the one that works!
(in mandrake at least)). Cups administration page will probably tell you
what is wrong.
