You have probably already found the answer to your question, but just in case :
To check current status of compression:
mt -f /dev/st0 datcompression
To turn on compression:
mt -f /dev/st0 datcompression [2..9]
NOTE: After datcompression, you must type in a number greater than 1, the number specifies the quantity of compression.
This from the HP site : http://www.hp.com/cposupport/information_storage/support_doc/lpg51060.html#P10_1448
Also check man page: man mt
Best of luck
Dave
