Bug Description

Looks like hp-setup -i detected my printer wrongly as a 4600 series Color Laser.
When I went in to Cups Printer Administration the printer driver was set to HP Color Laserjet 4600.
Test pages did not print.
The only ppd file I have installed that is for the HP Color Laserjet 1600 is from foo2js, and does not do color properly, and is a little buggy.

Output from hp-check -t:
root@matador:/usr/local/bin# hp-check -t
warning: python-dbus not installed.

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to
successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies
installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
