[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#717273: printer-driver-postscript-hp: HP LaserJet 1200: User can choose between two identical PS drivers

[Stefan Nagy]

Hi,

I'm not sure… I don't get one DRV and one MFG/MDL pair; but there seems
to be a small difference between the two PPDs regarding the MDL:

/usr/lib/cups/driver/postscript-hp list | grep "LaserJet 1200"
"postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_1200n-ps.ppd" en "HP" "HP
LaserJet 1200 Postscript (recommended)" "MFG:HP;MDL:HP LaserJet 1200;"
"postscript-hp:1/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_1200n-ps.ppd" en "HP" "HP
LaserJet 1200 Postscript (recommended)" "MFG:HP;MDL:Hewlett-Packard HP
LaserJet 1200;"

In one case MDL is "HP LaserJet 1200", in the other case it is
"Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1200"…

Cheers,
Stefan.
