There are two entries for the same PPD file because two different strings for the printer model - 'HP LaserJet 2200' and 'Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 2200' - are given by the postscript-hp driver. CUPS+Gutenprint isn't in your list, but maybe you didn't install printer-driver-gutenprint. Not that it particularly matters if you have something which gives printing on both machines. However, it is a good quality driver. The openprinting page doesn't list any best driver because that will depend on what functionality you want. One of my print queues for the HP 2200 uses a PCL PPD file from Generic and the quality satisfies me. The speed of printing is also fine with it but any contrast with other languages amounts to a religious argument as there will too many factors (text, images, mixed text and images etc) to take account of. The HP 2200 isn't in the full flush of youth and it is doubtful HP care enough about it to keep providing a new PPD file if needed. You should be fine with the Debian packages. A benefit is that any bugs in a PPD file are more likely to fixed in Debian rather than by the printer manufacturer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
