OMG, the Hungarian peppers I have ARE the same genius, species and variatal as is sometimes used to make paprika!
I don't know what the heck they're doing differently than me, but when I dry them and grind them into a powder, it makes spicy pepper powder, not anything like paprika.
Maybe if I took the seeds out and wasn't using the "benign neglect" strategy of watering them?
If I ever get enough of my normal pepper powder, maybe I'll try making paprika. By removing the seeds that is, because remembering to water them the perfect amount every day for months on end is going to take automation.
