Title:
  PostScript PPD for HP LaserJet 1200 lists two identical models

Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:
  Invalid
Status in “pyppd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “pyppd” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When HPLIP is installed the user can choose between two identical
  PostScript drivers when installing the HP LaserJet 1200 in a CUPS
  client - at least in my case the two identical entries are "HP
  LaserJet 1200 Postscript (recommended) (en)". No matter which of those
  two entries is chosen the same PPD is installed. This is confusing.

  I'm affected by this bug on Debian GNU/Linux (Jessie) and reported this bug downstream:
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717273

  It seems to me that the two entries are a result of two lines in the original PostScript PPD file for this printer which I found in /prnt/ps/hp-laserjet_1200-ps.ppd.gz of the current HPLIP tarball (version 3.13.7):
  *Product: "(HP LaserJet 1200)"
  *Product: "(Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1200)"

  As I understand it, there should be one "Product"-line per printer
  model – in this case both lines refer to one and the same model. I'll
  attach the PPD in question.
