Bug Description
Using Mint 16 MATE with all current updates. The correct printer driver for this printer is 201107w. When this driver is installed it does identify with that number, but is is not the correct driver for the printer. The main problem with the driver is that it does not support the duplexer and has options not appropriate to this printer. Fortunately I had saved the 201107w I was using on Mint 14 MATE, and it works fine on this printer. I have no way to determine what the exact problem is other than the driver selected is very different (and wrong) for this printer. The poor soul who has this printer will get a driver that doesn't work. The problem is consistent because I installed it multiple times, and alway it selected the wrong driver..
Probably doesn't affect very many people so certainly not urgent.
