Hi all... Solved the problem. After a while, I found the answer in the HPOJ documentation. It seems there is a conflict between the HPIOD access and the older (and automatically loaded) print module in kernels 2.4.xx.
Solution is to remove the printer module: rmmod printer and be sure to avoid loading it in the future. a) by recompiling the kernel without usb-printer support, or b) by following the instructions in http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-cvs/doc/setup-connect-details.html basically adding a line to /etc/modules.conf: alias printer off and to /etc/hotplug/blacklist: printer I'd suggest adding a hint to the FAQ docs in HPLIP! It's not entirely intuitive that printing works fine, but 'printer' module must be removed to be able to scan.
