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 John -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
