Hello Till

In
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-system-config-printer-vs-gnome-3-control-center>
you summarized some things that system-config-printer allows, but that
the Printers panel in System Settings does not: "selecting best drivers,
identifying network printers, HPLIP integration and so on".

As a workaround for this, for 11.10 we have patched gnome-control-center
to launch system-config-printer instead of showing its own panel.

But then what about 12.04, or 12.10? How will we get to a state where
the Printers panel in System Settings *does* do all the things we want?

In <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?component=Printers> I see
that you have not reported any bugs about the Printers panel. Would you
be able to take a few minutes to report bugs about the missing features,
so that both we and upstream can track what's missing?

Thanks
