Bug Description

Since a few versions, the common print dialog shows any printer available in the network. I am currently seeing 13 printers, of which I may only use one or two. When I select the print command, I have to scroll down to check my default printer is highlighted. If there would be an additional printer I sometimes use, I would have to scan through the list to find the it.

There is no need to clutter this dialog with printers the user will not or cannot use. The old behaviour, where the common print dialog would only show printers that the user added through the "Printing" settings applet, is more clutter free and less distracting.
