Yes, it is "Printing" in Ubuntu 12.04. Is "Printers" clear enough too?
That's what already being using in gnome-control-center (as seen if
you run GNOME Shell).

I'll contact upstream as well.

It is no extra work for docs. Since the name did change & I'm
proposing something different than 12.04, I have to update the docs
regardless. I understand that it is extra work for translators but I
hope it isn't too much. Either way, I'll follow the translators'
decision and I won't be upset if my request isn't approved.
