Re: Can't print to HP PSC 1210 from HP Omnibook 4150 on Knoppix

SUCCESS!!!

My printer now scans AND prints perfectly.  Thanks again for your help! 
  Your interest in my dilemma was very encouraging.

What ended up working is:
1.  Deleted all printers from CUPS
2.  Restarted cups daemon
3.  Used the KDE Control Center/peripherals/Printers & made sure CUPS 
was the print server.   Added a new printer with the wizard:
   a.) The first screen  is "backend selection".  I picked "other" 
rather than "local" and selected the "PTAL" device from the list
   b.) Next, as the HP PSC 1210 wasn't listed under the available 
models, I clicked "other", browsed to the directory where I'd unpacked 
the  hpijs tarball and selected the driver file there 
(/usr/local/hpijs-1.6/ppd/HP-PSC_1200-hpijs.ppd on my system)
4.  It worked!

The CUPS browser interface (localhost:631) wasn't listing any specific 
printer models at all.  I'm not sure what might be broken there, but as 
this problem is solved we won't worry.

Regards,
Neil
