Adding or modifying a printer using the CUPS web interface, in the list of models the same name is often printed a number of times, associated with different files underneath. Currently I'm seeing this with Canon printers, e.g.: <OPTION VALUE="gutenprint/5.2/C/stp-bjc-MULTIPASS-MP500.5.2.ppd.gz" >Canon PIXMA MP500 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7 (en) <OPTION VALUE="gutenprint.5.2://bjc-MULTIPASS-MP500/expert" >Canon PIXMA MP500 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7 (en) But other gutenprint drivers are affected as well: <OPTION VALUE="gutenprint/5.2/C/stp-samsung-ml-85.5.2.ppd.gz" >Samsung ML-85 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7 (en) <OPTION VALUE="gutenprint.5.2://samsung-ml-85/expert" >Samsung ML-85 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7 (en) The code here comes from the HTML code of the CUPS web GUI. Having exactly the same option name appear multiple times makes choosing the correct one a real problem. Bug #42200 described a similar thing about languages, which I've seen in the past as well, but that one seems to be resolved, so I take it that this one here is something else. As other drivers don't seem to be affected in quite this way, I assume it is specific to gutenprint.

I've noticed this as well in the past. This type of issue would be good to report upstream as well if someone hasn't done so already.
