I installed the latest (hpoj 0.91) yesterday.

The PSC-2210 is USB only.  My network consists (at the moment) only of
my PC and a router, so scanning over the network is not currently
relevant.

However, I think that possibly some of the cups printing problems that
I was getting until a day or two ago were to do with some confusion
between 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.10 (which is the PC's IP address on
the LAN) - maybe something odd going on there.

No, this doesn't work.

No

This is /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, right?
Yes - I have the line "hpoj" at the end of the file.

Thanks for your help.
