Description Tim Waugh 2009-12-23 13:51:16 UTC
Description of problem:
When adding a new queue for a device whose Device ID is known, an exactly-matching driver should be pre-selected.  This goes wrong with the Brother HL-2040, which has an exactly matching ID for a driver with a different model name.

When modifying an existing queue, we should pre-select the current driver based on the NickName or ModelName attribute in the PPD.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-printer-1.1.16-1.fc11

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug in a Brother HL-2040 and try to add a queue for it.
  
Actual results:
Gutenprint driver is used.

Expected results:
Foomatic/PostScript driver is used, as that has an exact ID match and PostScript drivers are generally preferred over raster drivers.
