No problem, we can leave the GNOME Settings app as it is. The issues are 
not that important.

The local printers as SMB printers appeared only for me as I had smbd 
running, which most users do not have running on a desktop machine. 
After stopping smbd they disappeared and only the actually interesting 
printers (local USB printers, network printers, shared printers on 
remote computers) get listed, as expected.

So leave everything as it is now. The two issues have time for 18.04 LTS.
