Update manager problem

[fquist]

I have received the following error while trying to open update-manager in order to upgrade to hardy.

'E:The package mfc4800lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'

A few days ago I had tried to install a driver for my Brother MFC4800 printer but was unsuccessful. Apparently, update-manager is now hung up and won't let me do anything. As soon as I close the error message window, update-manager closes.

How can I fix this problem so that I can upgrade to hardy?

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I still get the message "E: The package mfc4800lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." and there is no further action. Somehow I need to tell the update manager to quit trying to fix mfc4800lpr.

mfc4800lpr is not in the ubuntu repos. Where did you first install it from ?

I got it from the Brother (printers) website. It is supposedly a linux driver for my Brother printer. BTW, thanks for taking the time to help. I'm new at this linux stuff.
