CUPS printer choice

[Timothy Murphy]

CUPS often offers me a number of choices for the same printer,
and I have no idea which to choose, or what difference
a different choice would make.

Currently I am trying to use an HP OfficeJet J5480,
and CUPS offers me the choices
--------------------------------
HP Officejet J4500 series (CB780A)
HP Officejet J4500 series (HP Officejet J4500 series USB #1)
HP Officejet J4500 series (HP Officejet J4500 series USB CN89C552GR052T 
HPLIP)
--------------------------------
Does it make any difference which I choose?

(If it doesn't, why offer me the choice?
If it does, why not explain the difference?)
