   I've got a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a. It prints, scans and Faxes all    
   from the device itself or from across the wired ethernet connection.    
   I've got 7 machines on my little network, 2-Linux machines; 3-Windows    
   machines (XP, Vista, and Windows 7 laptop); 2-eComStation machines (1.2R    
   and 2.0 GA).   
      
   As you would imagine, the printer works just fine from Windows and    
   Linux, but I'm having issues printing from eCS.  I've installed eCUPS003    
   (I used the wpi full package) and all looked great except when I got to    
   the part where I'm configuring my printer and it says for me to select    
   my printer model or provide a PPD.  As you might have guessed, my    
   printer model wasn't there so I copied the PPD from one of my Linux    
   machines.  Although it said the install completed successfully, I still    
   can't print. So I'm guessing it's one of the following:   
      
       1.  It definitely has a bad PPD for the eCUPS level I've installed   
       (should the PPD be different?).   
       2.  Something needs to be updated (cups? ghostscript? gutenprint?)   
       that has the correct printer model installed.   
      
   Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this working?
