Problem here is that the printer name in the PPD file ("PM A820",
Gutenprint PPD, not from printer manufacturer) is not exactly written as
in the printer's device ID (PM-A820). This mismatch makes system-config-
printer not finding the PPD. When manually choosing manufacturer and
model one usually does not see this little dash,

I have changed the algorithm of comparing printer names in system-
config-printer so that strings with these little differences are
considered equal. Mismatches are not expected by this as manufacturers
do not market different printers whose names sound the same and differ
only by upper/lower case, dashes, ...

Fixing the problem in the PPD files is not possible as we do not have
all the printer's device IDs.

The fixed system-config-printer package will soon be uploaded.
