Title:
  Multiple identical drivers for PostScript printers

Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  When adding a printer using cups webinterface multiple identical PostScript drivers are listed for my HP LaserJet 4000N (see screenshot).
  Running lpinfo -m in a terminal shows this is the case for other PostScript printers too.
  This makes a user wonder which one (s)he has to choose, there should only be one PostScript driver or if there are multiple they should have a different name.
