Hi Floid,

Generally most of the users facing the problems with multiple queues creation issue and incorrect PPD being selected, to fix this for HP printer are bing configured using hp-tools.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused, we will look into this. Meanwhile, make following changes.

1) take a copy of /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py file
    $ sudo cp /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py_backup

2) open /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py in root mode
    $ sudo gedit /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py
          ---> comment cups.delPrinter(printer_name) statement. ( line no appr. 76)
         Change From:
                     cups.delPrinter(printer_name)
         Change To:
                     #cups.delPrinter(printer_name)

3) remove the unwanted queues
    $ hp-setup -r

4) Configure the required print queue

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
