After a day of Google'ing I am here to seek your help.
Sadly had to switch mobo due to a sudden death of the 32 bit socket A board.
So, being in need I got an ASUS K8N and AMD 64 Sempron Processor 3000+.
Current system is Gentoo 32bit, kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r3, make.conf has been
updated with a newly added CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" for the machine.
The system is reported as being able to do 32/64 bit apps - after some
tinkering I got USB to function for my Nomad MP3 player and the HP PSC 1510
is the default system printer. Here is the info pertaining to it:

dmesg [snipped]

USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.3
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 1 alt
0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x4C11
usbcore: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver

So there is the printer.

Plus, here's what tail has from a print attempt:
tail /var/log/cups/error_log

This is what CUPS has to say:

Anyone get this printer to work with AMD 64 bit system? If so, please teach
how.
