printer driver


I have begun using Mandriva Powerpack and am very impressed with it. There is one thing I would like to sort out. The print out on my epson colour 460 is very poor (very faint) yet when i change hdd,s and use other distos the printout is perfect.I think Mandriva must be using the wrong driver. I have downloaded the latest driver from Epson but cannot figure how to get it to the printer. There is a printer application called Printerdrake but cannot find iton mandriva. Any help would be apreciated. StanW

Hi.

You should be able to access the PrinterDrake tool from the Mandriva Control Center (drakconf).
