Sorry, I don't know anything about printfax.

I can confirm that when I installed Mandriva 2009.1 it didn't install the 
addressbook or korganizer.  I had to manually install both, together with 
other components for Kontact.

Copying your addressbook across as you did is no problem.  The applications 
are totally compatible.

The 'hype' you talked about would be about akonadi (see userbase, for more 
info).  Once that technology matures the storage database will be available to 
any application that wants to use it - but it's not there yet.
