I get this when I run '/etc/init.d/hpoj setup':
*** Found "DESKJET 895C" but failed to communicate with it!
*** Elapsed time for this attempt was 0 second(s).
*** Check syslog file for ptal-mlcd error messages.
*** See hpoj documentation for troubleshooting information.
I checked syslog and I see:
Jul 4 22:54:16 alt ptal-mlcd: SYSLOG at ExMgr.cpp:3524,
dev=<mlc:par:probe>, pid=5889, e=2, t=1120542856 Using parallel
port '-porttype bpp -base 0x378'.
Jul 4 22:54:16 alt ptal-mlcd: SYSLOG at ExMgr.cpp:652,
dev=<mlc:par:probe>, pid=5890, e=2, t=1120542856 ptal-mlcd
successfully initialized.
Hm.... "successfully initialized" looks like a GOOD thing, I see no
errors...
It's right, however, I have an HP Deskjet 895C setup in CUPS and it
works just fine - but I can't get hpoj to see it properly.
The setup output looks like this:
[root@alt ~]# /etc/init.d/hpoj setup
Stopping the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently defined device names ([*]=default):
(none)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probe for parallel-connected devices ([y]/n)? y
Successfully loaded kernel module "lp" for the device probe.
Warning: Probing incorrect I/O port addresses could result in system
instability and/or data loss! Consult your hardware documentation, BIOS
setup and/or kernel messages to verify correct base addresses in the
following prompts. Also, take care not to probe parallel ports that
have non-printer devices (such as disk or tape drives) connected.
Probe parallel port "-base 0x378 -basehigh 0x778 -device /dev/lp0"
(y/[n])? y
*** Found "DESKJET 895C" but failed to communicate with it!

Press <Enter> alone to continue, or if you would like to probe an
undetected parallel port, then enter its hexadecimal base address
(such as "378", "278", or "3BC") here --->

Probe for USB-connected devices ([y]/n)? n

Press <Enter> alone to continue, or if you would like to add a
JetDirect-connected device, then enter its dotted-decimal
IP address or hostname here --->

Done updating device configuration files stored under /etc/ptal.
If you make manual changes to those files, then be sure to run
"/etc/init.d/hpoj start" so they will take effect.

Starting the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
No hpoj devices have been configured.
As root, run "/etc/init.d/hpoj setup".

I'm running debian unstable, cups 1.1.23, hpoj 0.91.
