[Hardy] HP PSC drivers have wrong names

[Janek]

Binary package hint: cupsys

I have a HP PSC 2410 multi function printer and In Gutsy I was able to select the "PSC 2400" driver when adding it in the printer administration. Since hardy the driver name is a bit confusing: Instead of "PSC 2400" there is written "C 2400". And this is true for all PSC drivers. Would be nice to see this changed.

I have checked and the PSC 2400 is still there. Do

lpinfo -m | grep 2400 | grep -i hpijs

or browse the list of supported models in the printer setup tool. I do not see that problem.

Yes, "lpinfo -m | grep 2400 | grep -i hpijs" also displays "PSC" and not "C" and when I try to add a printer with the internal cups web interface (http://127.0.0.1:631) it displays "PSC 2400" too but not the "system-config-printer" GUI. I attached a screenshot.

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 0.7.81+svn1976-0ubuntu4

---------------
system-config-printer (0.7.81+svn1976-0ubuntu4) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/15_hpfax_queue_for_network_printer_and_hpfax2.patch:
    system-config-printer was not able any more to create fax queues
    for network-connected HP multi-function devices after fixing
    LP: #165197. This is fixed by this patch. The patch also removes
    the newline character from the end of HPLIP URIs for network
    print and fax queues and it also adds support for HP's new fax
    device class "HP Fax 2" (HP LaserJet M2727),
  * debian/patches/17_model-name-cleanup-improvements.patch: Fixed and
    improved filtering of driver information from printer model names
    to clean list of printer models. Now more types of version numbers
    are removed and model names are not so easily broken, like for
    example "PSC" was converted to "C" (LP: #205107).
  * debian/patches/20_laserjet-1200-1300-no-postscript.patch: For HP LaserJet
    12xx/13xx prefer HPIJS over PostScript, as they do not have enough
    memory to render complex graphics with their on-board PostScript
    interpreter. This is a workaround for the time being until HP fixes
    this in the HPLIP-generated PPDs (LP: #172550).
