Public bug reported:
While working through the printer install process
The printer was found and correctly identified as DCP-7065DN
However the list of drivers offered did not include this and recommended
driver DCP-7045N which did not work.
Experimenting with choosing and finally choosing DCP-8065DN did work and the
printer functions properly just blind luck.
What I expected was to be offered the correct driver by name.
This may be an error in naming or transcription; not sure.
Very frustrating, to be sure and took a fair amount of work to find the right
driver.
