Bug Description
When adding this printer, Ubuntu defaults to HP LaserJet 1320 Foomatic/Poscipt driver
which renders the printer almost unusable.
(As shown in this thread: http://
The default driver is problematic but there's no way to change it in Ubuntu 11.10.
of course there's CUPS interface which is nice but not everybody knows it.
So the default driver of HP 1300 models needs to change to Generic (as stated in the second post of the above thread)
or there should be an easy way to choose a driver.
Thanks for your time.
