Cannot get HP5510 to print

I bought a HP 5510 last night and was up most of the night trying to get it to 
work.  (I need to have a printer working ASAP and am close to returning this 
and getting a Brother 1440 laserprinter because it just won't work.)

I am using Libranet, so when I hooked up the printer, I used apt-get to 
install hpoj and hpijs.  (I haven't seen it specifically stated, but I assume 
I need both of these, hpoj to scan and hpijs to print -- is that right?).  I 
am using a 2.4.21 kernel.  The hpijs version is 1.5.

Originally when I installed hpoj (again, with apt-get), ptal-init asked me all 
the questions, and within a few minutes I was able to use the scanner.  
Considering the last time I had tried a scanner on Linux was over 3 years 
ago, and it was damn near impossible to get it to work, I was excited.

Then I tried to install the printer.  I used the KDE control panel and pulled 
up the printer screen to install the printer in CUPS (if you haven't used it, 
it has a few more features than the web control panel for CUPS).  The first 
time I did this, I admit I didn't read the instructions.  I tried to install 
it as the 1st USB printer, and got messages that usb:/dev/usb/lp0 did not 
exist.  I deleted the printer from CUPS, restarted CUPS, and re-installed 
(this time, in the printer list, CUPS specified ptal:mlc:usb:hp5510 --I 
changed the name to hp5510 for brevity).  It installed and I tried to print a 
test page.  I got the dialog that said CUPS sent the test page successfully, 
I pressed Okay to continue, configured the printer, and waited.  No test 
page.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled this a number of times.  I am getting the 
status display (on the web control panel for CUPS) Printer State: stopped, 
accepting jobs.

I've tried ptal-print and it cannot connect to the printer.  I tried 
ptal-connect mlc:usb:hp5510 -service PTAL-MLCD-DUMP and I get a dump 
(included at the end of this, in case it helps).  I tried ptal-connect 
mlc:usb:hp5510 -service echo and I cannot connect.

It seems I can scan (some programs seem to have trouble, but the SANE gui 
frontend allowed me to scan an image in perfectly).  I can use scanimage 
--list-devices and it shows up.   If I scanimage --test, I get a successful 
report.  I don't know if this printer has an echo service, so I don't know if 
ptal-connect mlc:usb:hp5510 -service echo is a sign of the problem or not.

I really want to get this working, since it would solve my 
scanner/fax/printer/copier needs with one shot and because I like HP products 
(they usually have good Linux support and are reliable), but I have to be 
practical.  I cannot waste a lot of time on this.  I have to have a printer 
working today, and I have to get back to my other work, so any help is 
GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

Hal
