You only need at least 0.9.5 for that MFP ( 2840 ), according to this:

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/color_laser_mfp.html

So why did you not just use the RPMs for FC6, which was 1.7.2 as you said ?

FWIW, I just bought an HP Photosmart C3180, and everything worked out
of the box ( printer, scanning, card reader ), although only USB and
not JetDirect.
