Affects: libgnomeprintui (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Using Ubuntu Dapper FL5, Gnome desktop

When adding or configuring printers information, there are two
categories covering Hewlett Packard printers: HP and HP (HPLIP). This is
confusing and counter-intuitive.

This is somewhat related to Bug #24999 , however this is about having
two entirely different *categories* of printer drivers, which is
confusing, not to mention having drivers present in one category but not
in the other as stated in Bug #24999.

A better aproach may be to combine both categories or else, although I
don't know the reasons for having a separate HPLIP category to begin
with.
