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?
FWIW, I just bought an HP Photosmart C3180, and everything worked out of the box ( printer, scanning, card reader ), although only USB and not JetDirect.
Wish I had been that lucky ;-) With regards. Sanjay.
