To set up your printer in Mandrakelinux, choose System > Configuration > "Configure from the main menu." You'll be asked for your root password, which you must provide to change the system configuration. When the Mandrake Control Center appears, choose Hardware > Printers.
The Mandrake Control Center gives you access to system utilities you'd find in Windows' Control Panel. Go here to get your printer online.
If any other devices aren't working, try configuring them within the desktop environment using available tools, such as the Mandrake Control Center or HardDrake. If you need to install a driver, consider it a project and a learning experience. Begin by searching the Internet for the appropriate driver, which should include at least some semblance of instructions.
Tip: To install your driver, you'll probably need the Linux command-line interface. From the Main Menu, choose System > Terminals and select among the available options.
