Problem with configuring HP Officejet 6110 all-in-one software

I am running SuSE 9.2 Pro and have the HP Officejet rpm installed. I
can't get it configured.  It works on (ugh) Windows but even Windows
won't give me the actual USB serial device it is using.

usbview gives me a message that states
 Error /proc/bus/usb/devices does not exist.


The ptal-init setup command fails as listed below. My question is "How
can I get it installed?"

This program manages devices controlled by the HP OfficeJet Linux
driver (hpoj).  It attempts to probe your computer for local parallel-
and USB-connected devices, and allows you to specify network addresses
for remote JetDirect-connected devices.

If you experience any difficulties in detecting your device(s), then
refer to the hpoj documentation for troubleshooting information.

If you make manual changes to those files, then be sure to run
"/usr/sbin/ptal-init start" so they will take effect.
