Comment:
I can confirm this "bug". In Breezy I used to select "HP" as manufacturer. As I didn't see the other HP entry labeled as "HP (HPLIP)" (it's on a different line), I entered "HP" as the manufacturer and then selected the more appproaching model, which is obvisouly wrong as then, my printer will get direct PostScript command and print them as text (and then printing hundred of sheet...).
So maybe the "HP" and "HP (HPLIP)" entries could be merged and let the GUI choose the right backend?
