*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 80798 *** The "HP JetDirect" entry in the gnome-cups-manager is misleading. This setting is for all TCP/AppSocket/Raw network printing devices. Nearly every network printer or printbox supports this mode, not only HP devices. Therefore we will not default the printer brand to HP.
The wording of the menu entry I have improved.
