Ok. I did not have the openprinting-ppds package installed. Now I get an entry for 4250 Laserjet. Perhaps I should have made the title of this bug more precise by saying that the Foomatic version is not listed if one does not have the openprinting-ppds package installed. Try purging it from your system and see if you can get the foomatic version listed in the CUPS web interface. I think you may agree that it's not listed ;-) -- HP Laser Jet 4250 is not listed in CUPS Add Printer Model/Driver Web interface https://launchpad.net/bugs/92625 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
