I believe that you are misinterperting my report regarding
the models.dat file ;-)
I think I know the models.dat file format and I used the
model* keys intentionally to find the duplicates because
what my report actually means is that same model values
can be found under different device types (and the same
model value should also not appear more than once under
one device type).
Using my "uniq -c -d" output you get for example
for the first of the "uniq -c -d" output
At least this looks somehow buggy.
Perhaps technically this is all correct (i.e. when HP sells devices
under the same name which are actually different device types)
but I would not understand how a user who has such a device
which is e.g. labeled "PSC 760" should know which of the possible
device types the right one is when all he can select are three
times the same name "PSC 760"?
Hello Don,

Using my "uniq -c -d" output you get for example
for the first of the "uniq -c -d" output
[business_ inkjet_ 1000]
model1=Business Inkjet 1000
but also
[hp_business_ inkjet_ 1000]
model1=Business Inkjet 1000
And for the last of the "uniq -c -d" output
[psc_760]
model1=PSC 760
but also
[psc_780]
model1=PSC 760
and also
[psc_780xi]
model1=PSC 760
At least this looks somehow buggy.
