Well done. The printer was detected correctly and the HPOJ ptal driver was installed and printing worked fine.
I have a few comments to make though. Printerdrake chooses to setup the ptal driver as the following device: mlc:usb:0 and if it is setup with that name, scanning will NOT work even if the sane.d settings for hp are changed. If the name is the same as the device identified by the ptal-init setup program to something like this: mlc:usb:OfficeJet_G55 then scanning will work fine if the file is edited in /etc/sane.d/hp.conf to look like this: mlc:usb:OfficeJet_G55 option connect-ptal A better option is the following: Start the device as the detected device name and add a new entry into /etc/sane.d at the same time and call it hpoj.conf (that way the hp.conf file is not modified) and make it: mlc:usb:$devicename option connect-ptal where $devicename is that detected and setup by ptal-init Then scanning will automatically work in xsane and all other gui scanner programs as well. Scannerdrake as you mentioned does not setup these devices, but instead of saying "not supported" it should say "setup with printerdrake" nb: This is a copy of a post I made on mandrakeforum. Keep up the good work! Con.
