Once again, I found that http://www.mandakeuser.org has the real goods -- in 
this case, the hints I needed to get my new Lexmark E210 laser printer 
working under Mandrake.  

All of the other tools failed; kups, pointed to there, enabled me to actually 
tell the system which port to use, and which driver to use, and now the 
printer is working quite well.  Kups rocks; so does the E210.  

(Cheap, too -- less than $200, for what appears to be ten pages per minute, 
with very nice quality.)

There's a widow in sleepy Chester
  Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
  A grave that the Burmans shun,
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
  Who tells how the work was done.
