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
Info HP Color PSC
Location office
DeviceURI ptal:/mlc:usb:PSC_750
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
Your device uri may be different depending on how you answered
ptal-init...

I'm running the 2.4.27 kernel. Module printer.o is installed
automatically on startup with modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
Should I remove this module from autoload?
I have hpoj, libusb, cups and xsane installed.
/etc/cups/printers.conf is totally empty (however the printer works).
Do I need to add the info above to this file, or is the necessary
configuration file elsewhere?
As the printer is working as a printer, I am assuming that hpoj is
correctly emerged. I don't have usb as a use flag in make.conf, but it
is probably part of the package. If the other steps above don't work, I
can try remerging hpoj with the usb USE flag manually set.
Thanks
Jeff

You have two choices. You can load scanner.o (only present in 2.4.x
kernels), and unmerge libusb. Or, you can remove printer.o and config
things to use libusb.
I would recommend libusb as you will eventually have to make the change
when you step up to a 2.6.x kernel.

That is purely for printing w/ cups.

Your quick fix is going to be enabling usb scanner support in the
2.4.x kernel and modprobing it, but like I said above, you're going to
have to go through configuring things for libusb at some point, may as
well do it now.
Whichever route you take, just let me know if you need a specific file,
and I'll show you what I have.

have you beenn through the setup procedures found at
http://hpoj.sf.net ?
have you added or uncmmented hpoj in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf?

I added scanner to the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4, so this now contains printer and scanner modules. I then rebooted to switch to the new kernel. It reported that printer and scanner both loaded successfully, but running xsane still resulted in no scanner found. libusb is installed at present. Is it safe to emerge --unmerge libusb, and is this likely to solve the problem? Also, there is an HP53xx scanner driver module in the kernel. Is this required for the PSC-750 scanner?
