I have found through experience that mandrake tends to break both
printing occassionaly, I have grown used to deleting the printer and
setting it up afresh once every two or three weeks.
I have not a clue why this happens but when you say Mozilla and probs
since I installed firefox the printer has been behaving rather well!
