Description of problem:
Download HP Color Laserjet 4600 hpijs driver from linuxprinting.org.            
Modified the PPD file (including manufacture, model, etc)           
Import the modified PPD file into Printer Configuration tool           
Add the new PCL printer           
The printer only support very limited number of options, far less than           
specified in the PPD file, and it does not work.            
           
Checked /etc/cups/ppd, the imported pcl ppd file is totally different than the           
ppd file I want to import.            

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download HP Color Laserjet 4600 hpijs driver from linuxprinting.org.          
2. Modify the PPD file, change manufacture and model name          
3. Import the modified PPD file into Printer Configuration tool          
4. Add the new PCL printer               
          

Actual Results:  The printer only support very limited number of options, far less than             
specified in the PPD file, and it does not work. 
/etc/cups/ppd is different with the imported ppd file       

Expected Results:  Printer should support all options specified in the imported ppd file, and it 
should be able to print

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Issues like this should be fixed in FC5.
