Subject: hpoj: can't talk to printer

Package: hpoj
Version: 0.91-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

This version of hpoj fails when trying to setup. I get the following error
when running 'ptal-init setup':

    *** ptal-mlcd failed to start! Check syslog file for error messages.

The syslog entry says:

Aug 6 14:49:11 home ptal-mlcd: FATAL ERROR at ParPort.cpp:48, dev=<mlc:par:PSC_500>, pid=12419, e=1, t=1123354151 Access denied to parallel port!

I downgraded to 0.91-4 (the version in testing) and running
'ptal-init setup' allows the package to work properly.
