Tinkering

Mandriva used to include drivers for the iPixma 3000 but the 2007.1 Spring edition did not.  Although text printing with the BJC7004 did work fine, I discovered that this site provided great info about where to find the drivers.

There were some dependency issues, and I had rpm them using --no-deps and then fix the missing library issues by linking
libxml2 to libxml.so.1; and
libpng.so.3 to libpng.so.2
and then it worked.

Next I'll take a look at the enhancements he suggests can be achieved by editing the config files.
