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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
