Case-insensitive matching probably helps in many cases, but as gnome- cups-manager is not maintained any more it will probably not be implemented there. printerdrake does case-insensitive matching, it is one of the many methods to improve the correct model assignment.
The map from the device ID to the models already exists and is used by the gnome-cups-manager. It is foomatic-db, the Foomatic database from linuxprinting.org. Unfortunately this map is not complete, as we do not have the device IDs of all listed printers. -- Wrong printer model is preselected when adding a HPLIP printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/54362 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
