Autostatic suggested this back in November 2005 and it worked for me in PCLinuxOS 0.92 today.

Hopwefully it will work for you too. Good luck.

Just browse to http://www.autostatic.com/linux and download the two tarballs:
z600cups-1.0-1.i386.tar.gz
z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.tar.gz

Now open a console and su to root, cd to the directory where you downloaded the tarballs and type:

Code:

tar -xvzf z600cups-1.0-1.i386.tar.gz -C /



Followed by an enter and:

Code:

tar -xvzf z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.tar.gz -C /


Followed by an enter and:

Code:

ldconfig


Followed by an enter. The printerdriver should be installed now and you should be able to configure it through the Mandriva Linux Control Center.
