As I said, during hp-setup it stated that it did not have the ppd file
for the printer and I naturally assumed that I need to upgrade the
driver. Didn't notice the minimum driver requirements at the page.
So if I install the rpm driver version 1.7.2 back, where do I get the
ppd file for hp 2840?
Ahh . ok. The pppd file is in the foomatic package. On Fedora7, I
presume that the HP_Color_LaserJet_2800.ppd will work with your 2840:
$ rpm -qil foomatic | grep ppd | grep HP_Color
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet.ppd.gz
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet_2550.ppd.gz
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet_2605.ppd.gz
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet_2700.ppd.gz
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet_2800.ppd.gz
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet_3000.ppd.gz
Check what you have in FC6. If not, get the latest foomatic package
from FC6' update
