You'll need to use Linux's facilities to export and import the
appropriate printers in the appropriate places; likely, as Mark notes,
that'll be CUPS on both ends, I think Mandrake 10 is new enough to have
it.

Check out linuxprinting.org, and their CUPS Quick Start.  Check out
thei tutorial as well, and be careful: you've *done* much of the work
already if you have local printing working on both the server and the
workstations.
