windows connected via samba server.

Printer Name:HP Laserjet Professional P1566

How did you configure the printer?
Did you configure it using CPUS?

If used CUPS then do this:

chkconfig keeps the cups service ON even after system restart

Above command list the runlevel at which the service is on.

i just enable cups in the start up services.

detected and installed w/ driver.

and using samba server i shared printer to windows machine..

Have you checked Service Settings & startup aplications?

I already solved the problem sir.
Re-installation of Mandriva 2010.0 and re-installation of hplip
and follow the setup needed by the hplip to be able to install.

Thanks for help and more powers to LQ....
