Did the above urpmi. Tried the hplip-web manual install using mandriva 
instructions since Mageia is not listed. Did ./configure plus a bunch of 
stuff. Ended up in an apparent vi file. This has happened each time I 
ran ./configure. Had no idea what to do with it. Closed it and tried a 
"Make". Got Make: Nothing to be done for "all".

Appreciate your help. Gary
