I tried to follow this page

hi plamen,
after (about) two hours spending time to get my psc 1215 working (i have 
mdk10.0),
i get the printer working configuring it via cups administration,
add a new printer, select the usb printer device (NOT the ptal), then
select the HP driver and then the "PSC 1210 Foomatic/hpijs".

But after I selected the HP driver, it says "psc1210 has been modified 
successfully."  No chance to choose the Foomatice/hpijs.

Where did I go wrong?

How did you set up the printer? Printerdrake should have installed the
correct software and installed the printer for you...

[hpoj-devel] Printing Problems with HP PSC series 1200 - 1300

Well, I must be doing something wrong.  I've been fighting this HP PSC1210 for 
over a week with not a character printed.

Running RH-9, 2.4.20-8 kernel.  Was able to scan right off and the machine 
copies beautifully, but no print.

Got the latest hpoj and hpijs, cups 1.1.17, ghostscript 7.05-32  and went 
through the install and setup multiple times.  Always get "psc1210 
successfully installed".  Then print test page gives "could not connect to 
remote server ."   

/var/log/messages is full of the following two lines.
Oct 12 21:08:56 bruce ptal-mlcd: ERROR at ExMgr.cpp:2525, 
dev=<mlc:usb:probe@/dev/usb/lp9>, pid=8834, e=19, t=1097633336         
Couldn't find device!
Oct 12 21:09:04 bruce ptal-mlcd: SYSLOG at ExMgr.cpp:652, 
dev=<mlc:usb:psc_1200_series>, pid=8849, e=2, t=1097633344  ptal-mlcd 
successfully initialized.

Reinstallations are followed by:
Oct 12 21:19:09 bruce modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-188

lpr always returns the prompt immediately, but no printing.  Same with lpr 
testprint.ps  (postscript file).

Hate to give up on a brand new printer, but I've heard that Epsons come with a 
Linux driver.
