gnome-cups-manager looks for PPDs in /usr/share/cups/model.
Both the foomatic-filters-ppds and hplip package (installed by default on
ubuntu) provide a symlink in this directory.
foomatic-ppds symlink points to /usr/share/ppd and hplip symlink points to
/usr/share/ppd/hplip.
These symlinks overlap causing duplicate driver entries.

A simple workaround is to remove the hplip symlink in /usr/share/cups/model.
