Make sure the hplip service is up and running, see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/03/jsmeix_scanner-setup-93.html

Use
rchplip status
which should report at least
-----------------------------------------------------------------
hpiod (pid 1234) is running...
hpssd (pid 5678) is running...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To get the last 40 (error)-messages from the hplip service, use
egrep -i 'hplip|hpiod|hpssd' /var/log/messages | tail -n40
