Bug Description
hpcups.drv.in has this:
{
ModelName "HP Deskjet 990c"
Attribute "NickName" "" "HP Deskjet 990c, $Version"
Attribute "ShortNickName" "" "HP Deskjet 990c"
Attribute "1284DeviceID" "" "MFG:HP;MDL:deskjet 990c;DES:deskjet 990c;"
PCFileName "hp-deskjet_
Attribute "Product" "" "(HP Deskjet 990cxi Printer)"
Attribute "Product" "" "(HP Deskjet 990cse Printer)"
Attribute "Product" "" "(HP Deskjet 990cm Printer)"
Attribute "Product" "" "(HP Deskjet 990c Printer)"
}
But the actual device gives this Device ID:
MFG:HEWLETT-
(other fields removed)
This causes problems when trying to decide automatically which PPD to use for a given device.
How many of the device IDs in hpcups.drv are accurate and match what the device will say, and how many are just human-readable descriptions of the devices?
