Scanning w/ HP PSC 1210v

I have been trying to setup scanning for quite a while now. I finally found this:

[2005-03-16]
Just got this printer working on Gentoo Linux using the HPLIP 0.8.8
driver at http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/

The HPLIP-0.8.8 driver enables scanning AND printing at the same time,
using just this driver source alone.

It worked great in KDE 3.3.2 with Kooka 0.44 as the scanner frontend.

Be sure to read the DJ3320 (pertains to PSC 1210) driver notes on the
site above. That will fix the problem with black ink looking faded. 
It also mentions some things about pen alignment and settings for
Ghostscript. 

(Search the Gentoo Forums for 'hplip' to get the ebuild.)

which says it is easily done without hpoj, but using hplip. There are currently no gentoo ebuilds in the portage tree yet. You can download them below though. This is the page where you can download the ebuilds until they have added them to the portage tree.
