I've got a OJ710, on the LPT1 parallel port.  I was under the impression that 
scanning didn't work yet so I never even tried.  What do you want me to try?

Printing has been working fine for me. 

I just get confused at times because one program refers to the print que as 
'lpr', one as 'hpoj', one as 'default printer'.  Use the wrong one with the 
wrong program and you get nothing printed.  Nothing really to do with th OJ 
drivers per'se.  Linux could learn a lot from windows in this area...
