The problem of the original reporter is caused by the printer not being
explicitly listed in the database. This means that a printer with a
similar names is selected by the fuzzy matching algorithms of system-
config-printer. These algorithms are under constant development to
improve them. Unfortunately, in some rare cases it happens that the
algorithms make wrong choices, especially for unlisted printers, and the
mistakes they make change from version to version.
The best solution to fix wrong guesses is listing the device. Therefore
I move this bug to the foomatic-db package.
Please try different drivers with this printer, especially "Generic
PCL-6/XL printer" with "Foomatic/pxlmono", "Generic PCL-5e printer" with
"Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e", and "Brother HL-5040" with "Foomatic/hl1250" and
tell which drivers of these work and which one works best.
