Jim,

One thing I noticed with my Mandrake 8.2 setup is that if set the security 
level is set  higher CUPS doesn't start when the computer boots and I need to 
go in the Print Manager and restart CUPS. 

Of course, if you can't print a test page during first setup then I'm 
clueless. BIOS setting? Old non-bidirectional parallel cable?
