Description kachda 2005-08-31 03:27:04 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5

Description of problem:
When running system-config-printer-gui, I tried adding a Networked Printer (JetDirect), and pointed it to a HP 5000n Laserjet. Foomatic was unable to recognize it, and defaulted to Postscript. This works, but might be a good idea to add this printer to the foomatic database.

The output from foomatic is as below -

No IEEE 1284 match: {'model': 'HP LaserJet 5000 Series', 'description': 'Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5000 Series', 'cmdset': 'PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT', 'manufacturer': 'Hewlett-Packard'}

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
foomatic-3.0.2-19

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run system-config-printer-gui
2.Try adding a HP 5000 Laserjet as a Networked JetDirect

Please save this attachment and copy it to:

  /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_5000.xml

Then run "rm -f /var/cache/foomatic/printconf.pickle" and try to create a queue

again.	Is the correct printer model automatically selected from the list?
Comment 2 kachda 2005-09-09 08:38:38 UTC 
Yes, the correct printer gets select now.
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2005-09-09 09:16:13 UTC 
Great, thanks for testing.
