Unable To Scan With HP PSC 1401 and SUSE 10.0
I just installed a new HP PSC 1401 multifunction printer on my system. The printing is great, but SANE will not recognize the scanner. I've read and done everything I can think of, with no success. I probably won't give all the information necessary here, but this is what I've done.

I downloaded and installed the PPD file for the HP 1400 series, since it was not in the YAST install list. All HP software is installed, as well.
In YAST, under scanners, I see the printer, but it shows as not configured. When I attempt to configure it, I get an error: Failed to set up the ptal system - failed ptal-init setup-usb. Incidentally, this is a USB printer.
Opening a terminal as su, I run usr/sbin/ptal-init setup. Everything looks fine there shown below:
Currently defined device names (=default):
"mlc:usb:PSC_1400_series"
Model is "PSC 1400 series".
Serial number is "CN591230QP04GM".
Probe for USB-connected devices ([y]/n)? y
Probing "/dev/usb/lp0"...
Found "PSC 1400 series"
with serial number "CN591230QP04GM".
This device is already set up as "mlc:usb:PSC_1400_series".
Probing "/dev/usblp0"...
Found "PSC 1400 series"
with serial number "CN591230QP04GM".
This device is already set up as "mlc:usb:PSC_1400_series".
I then ran /usr/sbin/ptal-init start which stops, then restarts.
Then, as su, from a terminal, I ran /usr/sbin/ptal-init setup-usb. Here is the result:
Probing "/dev/usb/lp0"...
Found "PSC 1400 series"
with serial number "CN591230QP04GM".
This device is already set up as "mlc:usb:PSC_1400_series".
Probing "/dev/usblp0"...
Found "PSC 1400 series"
with serial number "CN591230QP04GM".
This device is already set up as "mlc:usb:PSC_1400_series".
Starting the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
mlc:usb:PSC_1400_series
Reading the HP driver installation information, I did go to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and made sure the comment was removed, as advised to do in the HP instructions.
I'm pretty new with all this, so any help would really be appreciated.

The PSC 1400 series isn't supported until hplip 0.9.5. For the scanner, I installed hplip 0.9.7 from source (not an RPM in sight unfortunately), and after restarting hplip and cups YAST had no problem properly detecting my PSC 1417 as a scanner. I ran a few tests, and everything seems to be working fine. For the printer part I just downloaded the PSC 1400 series PPD file, although I think the PSC 1310 driver will work as well.

That's good to know about hplip 0.9.7. I also downloaded and installed the PSC 1400 series PPD file. I heard the PSC 1310 driver would work, as well, but decided to do the download just the same. Thanks for the info!
