Also system-config-printer does not make a good choice.
/usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp has the following output on the Xerox
printer:
network socket://10.45.43.5 "Xerox WorkCentre 7228 Multifunction System"
"Xerox WorkCentre 7228 Multifunction System 10.45.43.5" ""
and the default choice of system-config-printer is "Generic ESC/P Dot
Matrix Printer" as this is the first choice under "Generic". We need to
tell the user here that the printer model is unknown to the system and
do either no default choice or things like "Generic PostScript printer"
or "Generic Text-only printer". If we have access to the IEEE-1284 ID
(USB, parallel), we should check the available printer languages ("CMD:"
field in ID) for an unknown model so that the correct "Generic" driver
can be selected.
