I'm using Dapper 6.06 LTS.
I have the same problem with my HP DeskJet 3820.
Step to reproduce:
1) Start gnome-cups-manager.
2) Click "New printer".
3) Under "Use a detected printer" select the printer that was detected by the
HPLIP backend, usually this entry has an underscore in it. In my case HP
DESKJET_3820.
4) Click Forward.
Now you see that the wrong printer model is (pre)selected by gnome-cups-manager
(see screenshot in attachment).
DeskJet is (pre)selected while DeskJet 3820 is available in the list!
This problem only appears for printers that use the HPLIP backend. When I
choose the CUPS USB backend entry under "Use a detected printer" the right
printer model is (pre)selected.
So it looks like gnome-cups-manager handles the hplip backend different than
the usb backend.
This bug affects nearly everyone with a HP InkJet printer, since the
HPLIP backend should be used with HP printers to allow printer
maintenance.
** Changed in: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
