I must admit I'm seeing the same phenomenon on at least one printer in
the office. it's a HP Laserjet 4250, using "HP Laserjet 4250 Foomatic/hpijs"
driver.

I ran your python script and get this result:

[[u'none'], [u'none', [u'none'], [u'none']]

note that there are four printers defined on this machine.
