Till,
The names were shortened in order to pass cupstestppd (ie: 1.3.9). Cupstestppd flags any ShortNickName that is longer than 31 characters as a error.

We have "big-deal" customers that require the PPDs to pass cupstestppd. So we are meeting customer requirements with the shorter name.

If you can get cuptestppd to relax the ShortNickName error (ie: flag it as a warning) then we can make the change back to a more meaningful name otherwise our hands are tied.

Note in hpijs.drv we do not have explicit ShortNickName and NickName values. Both are created by the "ModelName" field.
