I have installed the last version of Ubuntu Server 7.04

I have connected to the server an HP printer USB (HP DeskJet 3940).
Ok, I have installed CUPS and configured it to be accesible through web (remember that I'm installing it under ubuntu server, I haven't X-Window).

Everything is ok, it detects the printer when I enter the Administration tab, but then it asks me for a driver. I search in the list, and the 3940 model doesn't appear (nor the 3900). So I tried with the generic Deskjet driver. It was installed and the printer icons appears in the page with green color (indicating it's ok).
I click on the "Print test page" button, and nothing happens. It processes de job, and then it dissapears as it was printed, but it was not. The printer is not printing.

I tried with many different drivers with no luck. I even tried to install the PPD for this model, but it wasn't work.


What can I do to install it under Ubuntu Server? It was successfully installed under Ubuntu Desktop before!
