Till,
I couldn't find any way to uninstall hpoj, so I deleted two big directories 
named hpoj and rebooted.  Then lpinfo-v gives:
root@betty docs]# /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
network socket
direct hp:/usb/psc_1200_series?serial=CN42QG301Y5H
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
direct ptal
direct scsi
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
     [.....]
serial serial:/dev/ttyS31?baud=115200
direct usb://Unknown?serial=CN42QG301Y5H
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp1
      [......]
 
The localhost:631/device menu listed the psc1210 with its serial number and 
all seemed to work up to "print test page," which gave "can't connect."  
However, I was able to print using the printer icon in Kate and kmail  
HOORAY!!  : ^ )
Many thanks for the help.

Cannot print a picture from gimp and have lost ability to scan from gimp.  Any 
ideas on these problems?
