I've been using the cups hplj driver for a while now...
and I decided to get the scanner working, if i could...

after installing hpoj (0.93-r3) (gentoo), and running ptal-init setup, 
which seemed to see my device fine....
ptal-connect -service ECHO fails... and sane doesn't have any devices I 
can get it to see...
i'll attach the errors separately, along with the mlcd dump.
