A little search for C1537 on www.hp.com and you get a link to
the DDS3 User Guide :
<http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/lpv37995/lpv37995.pdf>

There are "operations mode" dip switches, where one setting at least
controls whether the host can change the parameters like compression.
I would check if your settings show that host control might be
disabled.
