Description Serhiy Zahoriya 2018-11-08 11:28:04 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try adding new printer (HP LasetJet Pro M501dn)
2. Go to the driver selection dialog

OBSERVED RESULT
At least some drivers duplicated multiple times in the list while there is just one file on the disc. In my case I had 6 identical lines with the needed driver.

EXPECTED RESULT
Every driver file listed one time only

I believe this is just different versions of the driver (simplified, etc.).  With 6.0.0, you can maximize the system settings and see the complete driver description.
