Just wanted to say that PrinterDrake *rocks*!
Getting printers to work on Unix has always been a
massive headache, but the Mandrake tools make this
messy, complicated job almost easy.

That said, I did run into one hitch :-)

The "recommended" CUPS driver for the HP DeskJet 400
is "GhostScript +hpijs-rss"; unfortunately this one
doesn't seem to work in Mandrake 9.0.  It uses the
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster filter, which in turn
calls 'gs ... -sDEVICE=cups ...'.  

But the version of GhostScript in Mandrake 9 (ghostscript-7.05-28.1mdk)
doesn't include the 'cups' driver.  (I think this is only
available in the ESP GhostScript distribution, not sure).

I finally got it to work by switching to 'expert' mode 
in printerdrake and selecting the 'GhostScript + pcl3' driver.
