Unfortunately, I have never done changes on g-c-c. So the button 
addition patch is probably much easier for one of you than for me. What 
you have to test is not more than when clicking the button s-c-p pops 
up. This does not require a printer, this should happen in any case.

Generally if you want to test printing stuff without needing a printer, 
you can do one of the following:

1. Install the cups-pdf package. This generates a queue named PDF and 
printing to it drops a PDF file into your ~/PDF/ directory. The queue 
has a PPD file so print dialogs show options.

2. On a virtual machine on the real iron box where you test your desktop 
work, run the "ippserver" utility. Depending on which command line 
options you use you can emulate a whole lot of network printers which 
support driverless printing.

One of these would also help to get non-empty printer lists in screenshots.

I agree with the wording "Additional Printer Settings".

OK.
