Description of problem: hp-setup can no longer find PPD file for HP Color LaserJet 2840. This is a regression since F-7: # hp-setup -i 192.168.1.11 HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.7.4a) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 4.5 Copyright (c) 2001-7 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

PRINT QUEUE SETUP Please enter a name for this print queue (m=use model name:'HP_Color_LaserJet_2840'*, q=quit) ? Using queue name: HP_Color_LaserJet_2840 error: Unable to find an appropriate PPD file. Would you like to specify the path to the correct PPD file to use (y=yes, n=no*, q=quit) ? Furthermore, if I specify the path to the file, hplip then says "error: File not found or not an appropriate (PPD) file. If I copy the PPD file from F-7, to this devel machine and use that, I'm able to continue until the cups queue is being setup then I hit bug #186231. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hplip-1.7.4a-2.fc8 foomatic-3.0.2-49.fc8
Can you attach the PPD you were using on F-7 please?
Created attachment 158150 [details] ppd that worked Just to be clear here, bug #186231 existed before I tried to setup this printer, it was not caused by the PPD that I pulled from F-7.
Please run 'hp-setup -l debug -i 192.168.1.11', try to configure the queue again, and show me the output. Thanks.
This bug seems to no longer exist with hplip-2.7.7-1.fc8.
