Connection wizard showing 6 matches for the drivers ofonea printer model, with
two recommended

At present while setting up the drivers for a new printer by the use of the
"connection wizard", one gets an overwhelming number of results when searching
for the driver (even after specifying exact model, see attached image). Two or
three of these are "(recommended)" and the printer usually works best when one
of these is chosen to be THE driver. I request that the connection wizard show
only the recommended drivers by default with an additional check-box for the
option "Show all possible drivers (even non-recommended ones)" that will be
turned on as required by advanced users. It might be useful also to have a way
to automatically show all matching drivers when there is no recommended driver
found with a suitable text warning "No recommended drivers found, showing all
possible matches".

Reproducible: Always
