First, make sure you've done 'apt-get install hplip foomatic-db-hpijs'. Once those are installed, go into the KDE Print control section, remove the PSC1210 that may be there (so we can go from scratch). Add a Printer, choose Local Printer, and at the bottom pick the hp:/usb/psc_1200_series.. printer. Click next, and go to HP for your manufacturer, and then choose 'PSC 1210 hpijs' as the Model. 'Next' through until its done, and that should be it; you'll now have a printer at something similar to: ipp://telemachus:631/printers/PSC1210 hp:/usb/psc_1200_series?serial=12345678 And that should be it. XSane (or your scanning program of choice) will automatically detect the hplip controller as well; scanning shouldn't require any configuration whatsoever.
