Ported: hpoj and HP PSC 1200 series

I just ported successfully a HP PSC 1200  Priner-Scanner-Copier box 
to an IBM Aptiva '96 running Linux-2.2.10 (post-Windows). 
It was somewhat tricky, but it works.

Following are the details of my configuration:

a) Compile a Linux-2.4.26 kernel with these parameters:
   CONFIG_MODULES=y
   CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
  #CONFIG_KMOD is not set

   CONFIG_PROC_FS=y 
  #CONFIG_DEVFS_FS is not set
  #CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT is not set

   CONFIG_USB=y
   CONFIG_USB_DEVICES=y
  #CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set
   CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y
   CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m  ---module ---
   CONFIG_USB_SCANNER=m  ---module ---



b) Add the following to the /etc/fstab file:
  none /proc/bus/usb  usbdevfs defaults 0 0


c) Add the following to the /etc/modules.conf file:
   alias usb uhci
   post-install uhci modprobe printer
   post-install printer modprobe scanner

e)Add entries to the /dev directory manually, as follows:
   mknod /dev/usb/lp0 c 180 0
   mknod /dev/usb/scanner0 c 180 48

e) Install libusb-0.1.8.

f) Install cups-1.1.20, sane-1.0.13, hpoj-0.91, hpijs-1.17, ghostscript-8.01.
