Bug Description
HPLIP 3.9.8 contains two identical PPDs
hp-laserjet_
"HP LaserJet 6P/6MP - PostScript Postscript"
But according to
https:/
there is a difference:
HP LaserJet 6P does not understand PostScript
HP LaserJet 6MP understands PostScript
Therefore there cannot be one PPD for both models
(and two same PPDs does not make sense at all).
I suugest to remove hp-laserjet_
and change hp-laserjet_
is only for a HP LaserJet 6MP.
