I'm getting nearly the same thing as David with my PSC1210

with localhost:631 psc1200, printer state processing, accepting jobs
	print test page:  "Could not connect to remote server 
		http://bruce:631/printers/psc1200?op=print-test-page"
	
	ptal-init setup     	currently defined mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series
	ptal-init status    	ptal-init has been started
	ptal-init start	    	stopping the driver
				starting the driver
				mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series
	lpr goodmen	no response
	ptal-connect mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series print
			unable to open device "print"

ptal-cups start or ptal-cups stop causes
	ptal-connect connecting to device "mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series" ... Which stays 		  
for more than 20 minutes.
