Comment 1 for bug 548636

Usually system-config-printer only skips directly to the print queue name if it finds a matching driver. If it only finds a driver for a similar model, a driver which only matches a page description language of the printer (PostScript, PCL) or even the universal fallback of a Generic Text-only Printer, it always shows the step of selecting manufacturer, model, and driver.

Can you tell which printer you have?
