Description Ezra Peisach 2005-04-08 18:49:06 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050322 Red Hat/1.7.6-1.4.1

Description of problem:
The version of foomatic that is shipped with RHEL 4 lacks entries for the HP6840 printer. In adding the network HP printer, the deskjet 6840 printer is not listed.

An easy fix is to update to foomatic-3.0.2-13 as found in fedora.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
foomatic-3.0.2-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add printer utility
2. Give a description
3. Indicate that it is a network printer
4. Look through the vender specific drivers.
  

Additional info:

Update to foomatic-3.0.2-13 (fedora) provides the proper description:

/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-DeskJet_6840.xml
