Everything works great, detected all the hardware and such. There is a quirk with it however, whereby on every startup a single page with the "a" character will be printed on my HP laserjet 1200. I have the printer connected to my PC through the parallel port. Does anyone know how to correct this? I wonder if Mandrake is trying to detect new hardware and spoofs something on the printer. THanks.
