When adding a Printer, the Systemsettings do a great job in detecting the printers on the network. It lists me the printer like "HP Color LaserJet MFP-blah-foo". Then I select the printer and next, I have to pick a driver. Problem: I *always* forget the correct type name and number, i.e. the "blah-foo". Since most printers advertise their brand, type and variant name in their name, it would be a really great enhancement, if the "Pick a Driver" dialogue in the Printer adding would show me the detected printer name. Like: "Pick a driver for the printer: HP Color LaserJet MFP-blah-foo". Thx!
