Sanjay,

I have a HP 2840; I have been able the printer functions working very
well with the standard cups drivers, but have not been able to get the
fax or scanner to function with Fc6, Fc5, or Centos 5.  I have not been
able to put much time with the fax and scanner so I will be interested
in following your thread.
