Remove the make and model fields in PrinterConfiguration and replace it with a make_and_model field like we've done for PPD strings. This will negate the need to try to parse arbitrary strings to find the correct separation.
This data is stored in user prefs so that will need to be migrated.
The combined value will appear in the 'Model' field in the settings UI.
