Bug Description
When PPD autodetection fails and you had browsed to select a PPD, the input box remains as "(Not Found. Click browse to select a PPD file)".
Version: 3.18.6 (the problematic file is the same as in 3.18.12)
System: Archlinux
Expected behaviour:
1. Run hp-setup
2. Automatic discovery or manually specify printer
3. Select device from list
4. Setup cannot match PPD file from device name
5. Click the <OtherPPDButton> to browse for file
6. Choose any available file (although it's best to choose a correct one)
7. Click "Add Printer"
Actual behaviour:
1. Run hp-setup
2. Automatic discovery using "mDNS/Bonjour" for "Network/
3. Choose "HP Envy 4520 Series"
4. Setup cannot match PPD file from device name
5. Click the <OtherPPDButton> to browse for file
6. Choose "/usr/share/
7. Cannot click "Add Printer"
You will be told by upstream that Arch Linux is not supported by HPLIP, so you are left to the tender mercies of people like me. :)
As it happens, I have an Envy 4520 Series device. What is your CUPS version?
