Well, I decided to remove the printer and reinstall. Everything went swimmingly, and, yes, the HP840C is supported and on the list. I'm not going to say that the print quality is awful, it just isn't that great compared to printing directly from HP's own software via Windoz. And what's worse, at the medium resolution setting (300x300dpi) it prints very slooooowly.
Well, I have corrected your top-posting and trimmed the superfluous full quote under. Please don't top post and trim your posts. I had an hp895 and an hp970 which both printted good, but maybe a tad slow. IMNSHO, Epson printers have the best linux support and quality output. The photos I print are as good as any I have seen from any ink jet desk top printer. I believe they rival professional photos. I would suggest that you go to linuxprintting.org and look up the proper ppd files for your printer and check the degree of compatability provided. You might also join the mailing list for linuxprintting also available there. There are very good discussions on the list and someone there should be able to answer your questions and help you resolve your observed lack of quality output.
