Bug Description
I have a network-attached Konica-Minolta 2430DL. Using the add new printer wizard, it is correctly detected but the suggested driver is "KONICA MINOLTA, magicolor 2490MF, foo2lava (recommended) (suggested)" which does not work. The appropriate driver is under "Manufacturer: Minolta, Magicolor 2430DL, foo2zjs (recommended) (suggested)".

Thanks for your bug report, this is a gnome-cups-manager bug.
The problem is gnome-cups-manager matches Minolta to KonicaMinolta because it expects only one Manufacturer name, it looks for your printer model there, since it isn't there it matches the one that closely resembles it (magicolor 2490MF).
But both Manufacturer names KonicaMinolta and Minolta are required because there exist incompatible printer models with the same model name.
gnome-cups-manager is no longer maintained upstream and will be replaced in gutsy.
