HP (Deskjet 6840) Network Printer problems

[Scott]

Considering Ubuntu comes with all the drivers one would need for most 
any HP Printer (including mine), I figured it would be easy to get it up 
and running.

Alas that wasn't meant to be.  Strangely enough I did get my Brother 
7820N up and running (also a network printer) in Ubuntu, thanks to 
drivers provided by Brother.

HP has drivers too, but that's where the HP drivers in Ubuntu came from. 
  I've got my HP 6840 set up (right next to my Brother 7820N) in the 
GNOME printers applet.

Both printers are connected directly to the network router.  I was able 
to get the Brother running just fine.  No such luck with the HP.

I'm sure it's a setting I need to change but I'm ignorant as to what 
that might be.  Guessing has gotten me nowhere.  The HP does work just 
fine when printing from the other box on the network (which is running 
Windows).

I'm grasping at straws here.
