dmesg did show disconnect and reconnect messages for both the printer
and the scsi port for the various memory card slots available in the
printer.

I executed this command, then "/etc/init.d/hpoj setup" to see if that
would make the difference, and it did. So it seems that this magic
"MAKEDEV" command wasn't automatically run during installation this
time. The joys of running "unstable", I guess.

This device will be set up as "mlc:usb:PSC_2200_Series".

The "mlc:" printer still didn't show up in KDE CUPS printer control,
so I rebooted the machine and watched the boot messages. Everything
was detected, the "mlc:" printer definition too, and this time CUPS
detected the printer. I'm looking at the test page right now, in
beautiful colour and crisp black.
Many thanks Henrique, again, for your assistance.
Peace, may your aim never waver,
