Comment 12 for bug 778620

The problem of the original reporter is caused by the printer not being explicitly listed in the database. This means that a printer with a similar names is selected by the fuzzy matching algorithms of system-config-printer. These algorithms are under constant development to improve them. Unfortunately, in some rare cases it happens that the algorithms make wrong choices, especially for unlisted printers, and the mistakes they make change from version to version.

The best solution to fix wrong guesses is listing the device. Therefore I move this bug to the foomatic-db package.

Please try different drivers with this printer, especially "Generic PCL-6/XL printer" with "Foomatic/pxlmono", "Generic PCL-5e printer" with "Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e", and "Brother HL-5040" with "Foomatic/hl1250" and tell which drivers of these work and which one works best.
