 Mandriva 2008 ( I'm loathe to upgrade as this version is working
    really well )

 Tried Page Setup, no option there to choose a printer.

Print Preview is what I would expect prior to printing.  

I'm using KDE as the UI. Kprint is setup correctly and has recognised my
new printer - same as CUPS.  I disabled the old printer in drakconf but
have since deleted it - will see what happens there. 
If Firefox had the correct printer in its config, I'm sure it would work. 

Will browse your suggestion about the Mandrake usenet group.

thanks Peter
