Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When I try to configure an HP Deskjet 6127 printer by choosing HP
(HPLIP) as manufacturer, and my printer model, the printer selection
reverts back to "Deskjet 612C" and the cdj550 driver instead of hpijs.
Steps to reproduce:

1.  Open Printers from Administration menu
2.  Choose New Printer
3.  Choose Network Printer, HP JetDirect, enter Host, and click Forward
4.  Choose HP (HPLIP) as manufacturer (why isn't it just under HP?)
5.  Choose HP Deskjet 6127.  Driver is selected as hpijs.
6.  Click Apply
7.  Right-click new printer and choose Properties
8.  Click on Driver tab
9.  ERROR - Model is selected as Deskjet 612C and Driver is cdj550.




Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gnome-print'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
