If you're running kernel 2.6.x, make sure you _don't_ have the module
printer.ko. scanner support (as well as printer support) have been
moved into user-space with libusb. Make sure it is emerged, if not,
remerge hpoj with USE=usb.
so you should have merged libusb, hpoj, cups, and xsane. Now, run
'ptal-init setup'. When this is done, running 'xsane' should startup
and recognize the device. If not, don't sweat it, It's been a year or
so since I set mine up, so my memory is a little fuzzy. Take a look at
the cups documentation, or linuxprinting.org .
Also note after setup to start the services /etc/init.d/{hpoj,cups} in
that order.
You'll most likely have to redefine your printer in cups. Here's the
relevant portion of my /etc/cups/printers.conf
<DefaultPrinter HP_PSC_750>
