Title:
print wizard installs wrong printer (HP DesignJet 500, instead of HP
Color LaserJet 500)
Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a "HP Color LaserJet 500 color M551" printer connected to the network.
When I use the printing wizard to add a new printer, it defaults to "HP
DesignJet 500". So by just pressing the Forward button, you end up with the
wrong printer installed. It does not work with this driver.
To make it even worse, the actual printer is not in the list of
printers.
The printer works with the HPLIP driver, however the webpage,
confusingly, warns you that you do not need HPLIP, because "HP Color
LaserJet 500 color M551" is already provided by your distribution
(Ubuntu 12.04).
