You could drop GNOME from OnlyShowIn in system-config-printer.desktop
but that would end up with 2 things named "Printers" in the default
install, one for the g-c-c panel and one for s-c-p.

Or you could leave OnlyShowIn like it is, but add a button to the
g-c-c Printers panel to configure additional options. (This is similar
to the workaround we recently added to the Language panel.)

Either way, I think you would need a UIFe.

Till, can you take care of this issue?

Thanks,
