Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

My HP LaserJet 1000 was not on the list of the models of HP, so I had to select the driver manually. I didn't know what extension a linux printing driver has. First I tried to feed it with the firmware (.dl), then with the compressed ppd (.ppd.gz), until I figured it out (.ppd). The open dialog should filter the files for the ppd extension.

After further review I noticed that the open dialog for installing another driver has "All File" and not a ".ppd". I will look into this.

As for you 1000, I have the same printer at the university and I use the 1100 driver just fine for your info.
