Well, actually, this new printer is an HP Color Laser Jet Pro M180nw, according 
to its box.  The model is "HP ColorLaserJet MFP M178-M181 PCL 6".  The HP web 
site says it's a member of the M180-181 series.

Based on your post, I went to directory "/usr/share/ppd/HP/", did a simple "ls" 
and looked at the long output", and did "ls | grep color_laserjet > 
~/lsout.txt".  There were 147 ppd files that match.  I fpasted the output to 
the Fedora pastebin.  It can be viewed here:
"https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/EDBA-M3kI7HDabzD-1shRQ";
Not surprising: no exact match.  I don't know how a closest one is determined, 
but I notice that none of what came out of your grep indicated color, but all 
mine did.  But yours all have the "nw" in the file name, none of mine do.  
Considering I'm connecting to it solely via a USB cable (no network), and it's 
a color printer (and I do need the color), is hp-laserjet_pro_mfp_m126nw still 
the best choice?  If not, what is?
