If your machine doesn't (and will never) have a printer, disable the
service.  It's not possible to determine this automatically; my printer, for
example, stays turned off except when I want to use it.

Ideally, these services could be started when the printer is detected, but
this is non-trivial and a low priority.  This would be an interesting little
project for someone looking to get involved with development.

This one might be worth discussing again now that we have the server CD.
