[hpoj-devel] Troubles connecting to OfficeJet 700

[<f.r...@in...>]

First of all many thanks for existing!
I'm a newbe of the penguin and I'm trying to get my OfficeJet 710 working under the RedHat 7.0. I've got some trouble with the kernel 2.2.16 and I decided to go with the 2.4.2 with wich, I noticed later, your drivers have still some problems.
The installation process, with the patch for 2.4, was troublefree. Following the INSTALL file I tryed the following commands, that I include with relevant outputs:
"[root@localhost hpoj-0.7]# insmod parport
Using /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/parport/parport.o
insmod: a module named parport already exists
[root@localhost hpoj-0.7]# insmod parport_pc
Using /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o
insmod: a module named parport_pc already exists
[root@localhost hpoj-0.7]# insmod parport_probe
insmod: parport_probe: no module by that name found
[root@localhost hpoj-0.7]# insmod /usr/local/lib/ieee12844.o
[root@localhost hpoj-0.7]# insmod /usr/local/lib/ieee12844pp.o
[root@localhost hpoj-0.7]# hpo devid
Error 5 (system error 110) in file mlccon.c, line 93:
Connection to peripheral lost"
Running dmesg I found the following message at boot:
"parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP]
parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(98)
parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(98)
parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet Series 700
lp0: using parport0 (polling)."
the following after using insmod:
"IEEE1284.4 protocol layer for Linux installed
ieee12844pp: init_module.
mlcpp_attach: New device found on parport0
ieee12844pp: IEEE1284.4 device found on parport0:
Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet Series 700;
device registered to IEEE1284.4 protocol layer as link mlcpp0
mlcpp_attach: links: 1."
and finally this after executing hpo:
"mlcpp0: illegal packet size 771 received
PAR_WAIT_SET_CLEAR(l=3Dc882fdfc,set=3D0x0000,clear=3D0x0040): timed out waiting for event=3D43!

PAR_WAIT_SET_CLEAR(l=3Dc882fdfc,set=3D0x0088,clear=3D0x0050): timed out waiting for event=3D23!"

Any suggestion?
