To the developers of HPLIP at HP: Please do not ship absolutely identical files more than once. Especially for PPD files CUPS chooses the PPD only by model, nickname and device ID entries in the PPD, not by the file name under which the PPD is saved on the disk. So adding the same PPD with another file name does not add any new model to CUPS' list of supported printers. This leads only to wasted disk space and ugly duplicate entries in the lists of supported printers in printer setup tools. Please remove all these duplicate PPDs from the package. Please do not add symlinks to avoid duplicate entries in printer/driver lists.
