It is a general problem: I find "PageSize Photo/Photo/4x6 inch index card" in 416 PPDs in the newest HPLIP. When I search in all PPDs in the newest HPLIP for 'PageSize [^/]*/[^/]*/[^:]*:' I find the following wrong media size settings: PageSize CDDVD120/CD/DVD 120 mm: PageSize CDDVD80/CD/DVD 80 mm: PageSize Photo5x7/Photo/5x7 inch index card: PageSize Photo/Photo/4x6 inch index card: They should be something like PageSize CDDVD120/CD or DVD 120 mm: PageSize CDDVD80/CD or DVD 80 mm: PageSize Photo5x7/Photo 5x7 inch index card: PageSize Photo4x6/Photo 4x6 inch index card: I.e. avoid the '/' character in the translation string. According to the Adobe PPD specification, a '/' character in the translation string seems to be allowed (see page 26 of the spec.) because the translation string starts after the first '/' and ends at ':' or newline so that this might be a bug in CUPS (I tested both CUPS 1.1 and CUPS 1.2 - none shows such options). At least to be on the safe side and avoid problems, I recommend not to use a '/' character in the translation string.
