Has anyone using Slackware 9.1 had any success getting the Hewlett-Packard
HP-PSC 1210 (Printer/Scanner/Copier) to work?

I'm running Slackware 9.1, everything is updated to the latest package.
Running CUPS.
I have downloaded an RPM package for HPOJ 0.91 as indicated on some sites
and converted it to TGZ and installed it successfully.
I have already changed setup ptal. It recognizes the printer.
I have changed the startup scripts so that ptal starts before CUPS.

The following lines show up during the boot process:

Mar 30 19:39:21 pc01 ptal-mlcd: SYSLOG at ExMgr.cpp:652,
dev=<mlc:usb:psc_1200_series>, pid=1921, e=2, t=1080671961
ptal-mlcd successfully initialized.
Mar 30 19:39:21 pc01 ptal-printd: ptal-printd(mlc:usb:psc_1200_series)
successfully initialized
using /var/run/ptal-printd/mlc_usb_psc_1200_series*.

Mar 30 19:39:21 pc01 ptal-mlcd: SYSLOG
at /usr/src/build/367118-i386/BUILD/hpoj-0.91/mlcd/ExMgr.h:646,
dev=<mlc:usb:psc_1200_series@/dev/usb/lp0>, pid=1921, e=11, t=1080671961
ptal-mlcd successfully activated, mode=1284.4.

So, ptal finds it and everything should be fine but it is not.
I can't print to it.
I can't scan from it (I have already uncommented the "hpoj" entry
in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf).

Here is part of the /etc/rc.d/rc.M where it is activated:

# Start the print spooling system. This will usually be LPRng (lpd) or
CUPS.
# Next 2 lines are for HP OfficeJet. PTAL interface needs to start before
CUPS
/etc/rc.d/init.d/hpoj
ptal-init start
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups ]; then
  # Start CUPS:
  /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
elif [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng ]; then
  # Start LPRng (lpd):
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng start
fi

Don't know what else to do (even downloaded several source packages for
libusb, sane and hpoj and tried to compile, but hpoj fails).

Any idea to solve the problem?
