Attempting to switch from the deprecated hpoj I found I was unable to get hplip to perform correctly. The printer is an HP PSC 2110. Probe failed with the connection refused error despite trying to manually starting snmpd. Starting hplip manually resulted in the failures mentioned in the summary, but I was able to successfully print after configuring with kde control panel. Scanning was not possible, but reemerging hpoj and editing /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to that backend proved that my printer's scanner did indeed still work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ./probe 2. connection refused error 3. /etc/init.d/hplip 4. hpio and hpss errors 5. ./toolbox fails to start with error 6. test print using kde control center works 7. sane-find-scanner fails 8. reinstall hpoj, reconfigure cups, and edit sane.d/dll.conf 9. printer and scanning work as expected Actual Results: Probe fails with errors, scanning does not work. Expected Results: Probe should find printer as hpoj's ptal-init does without errors. Scanner should work. # ptal-init Currently defined device names ([*]=default): "mlc:usb:PSC_2100_Series" Model is "PSC 2100 Series".

What is the text of the error you get from probe? Also, probe didn't work for me until after the hplip service was started.
Following information found in bug #97033 I was able to get my PSC 2110 to work, both printer and scanner, by running /usr/sbin/hpiod and /usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py manually before running ./probe in the same directory so apparently the bug lies with starting hpiod from the hplip init script. I tried removing --quiet from the line that starts hpiod, but was unable to stop the service due to a lock file even after deleting the pid file in /var/run. Going to see what happens after a reboot.
Stopping the hplip services and clearing pids did not change the problem. Hpiod and Hpssd.py still had to be started manually before probe to get printing working. Also, trying ./testpage results in... [ERROR]: No devices found. [ERROR]: Error occured during interative mode. Exiting. ...yet cups happily prints and sane happily scans.

since i don't have how to test this anyone can please submit a patch that works with this ?
reopen the bug when you have a patch for this (i don't have any printer that supports needs this package).
