From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: When trying to select a driver for my BJC-2000, there are **4** options to choose from in redhat-config-printer. I'm happy for the options, but this is unnecessarily confusing, both for admins/power users who are unfamiliar with the different driver sets, and especially so for regular Joe User types. One of the drivers ought to be picked as the "best" for the that particular printer*, and then in the list of drivers, the one that has been selected as optimal for that printer should have a label next to it, like "<-- Recommended". It might not look the slickest, but it'd go a long way to making driver selection easier. * which driver is "best" for each printer is an exercise I'll leave for you developers. ;-) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch printconf 2. Select a driver for a printer 3. Wallow in confusion ;) Actual Results: . Expected Results: . Additional info:

As the documentation remarks, the (*) is meant to indicate the recommended driver (there wasn't time to get a translatable string there I'm afraid). But this is something that will be address properly in the near future.
Oops, sorry I missed the docs on that one! **LARTS self for not RTFM'ing better before filing a bug**
Current rawhide package is very different in this area.
