There is a kernel upgrade on the mirrors now that allegedly fixes supermount. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE MANDRAKE UPDATE to install the kernel. There are instructions on the Mandrake errata page here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/errata.php3 and in the paper called The Black Art of Updating by Vincent Danen (of msec) on http://www.mandrakesecure.net . This may address the printer driver problem since that is somewhat kernel based. Consider changing your printing system form lpr to cups and the other way around to see if that makes any difference. Another test worth considering is testing that drive on another machine to see if it works there. IIRC, you did say it works with Windows.
