Bug Description
When gnome-cups-manager autodetects a printer it only shows the printer name, not the connection type/backen used.
This information may be necessary to set up the printer properly.
ie. HP DeskJet printers are shown twice, once with usb/lpt backend and once with hp backend. The printer only works properly with hplip if the hp backend is used.
