OK...
In the Mandrake Control Center go to "Harware" and click on PrinterDrake.
Then go to Options and select Expert Mode.
Then go to Actions -> Add Printer
Click next the choose Network Printer (TCP/Socket)
And then it lets you put in the hostname or the IP adresse of the printer.
For your driver question... there might be one built... Im not sure
Hope this Helped : )
