i am trying to install an HP DeskJet 3840 and fails because cups can not
find the ppd file.  i installed hplip 0.9.5, gimp-print, foomatic, and
foomatic-db

i dont see anything close to the 3840, like 3800 or 380C....

here are the last few lines from cupds log file


I [12/Oct/2005:22:52:16 +0000] Setting hpdj3847 device-uri to "usb://3845?serial=TH49L181FH040R" (was "file:/dev/null".)
I [12/Oct/2005:22:52:16 +0000] Setting hpdj3847 printer-is-accepting-jobs to 1 (was 0.)
I [12/Oct/2005:22:52:16 +0000] Setting hpdj3847 printer-state to 3 (was 5.)
E [12/Oct/2005:22:52:16 +0000] add_printer: Unable to copy PPD file from /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-ppds/HP/HP-DeskJet_3840-hpijs.ppd.gz to /etc/cups/ppd/hpdj3847.ppd - No such file or directory!


anyone know how to fix this?  where or how to get the ppd?


i looked for a newer version and there is 0.9.6 but the change log did not
show anything about the deskjet.

thanks matt
