Sorry, I read the bug report on github more carefully now and realized that the citation of Till Kamppeter in the last comment of vitorbaptista is highly relevant in this context: > Yes, the duplicate results for one and the same PPD are really a bug, > but note that there are also cases where there really need to be more > than one result.

In my case the PPD has two "Product"-lines: *Product: "(HP LaserJet 1200)" *Product: "(Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1200)" Since the two lines don't represent two different printer models I'd say one of those two lines could be deleted – and this would fix this bug. Or is it possible that both lines are needed in some way? Thanks, Stefan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
