Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager

If gnome-volume-manager is configured to run "gnome-cups-add hal://%h" when a printer is connected, it will try to add the same printer every time it is plugged in. It should check to see if the same printer has already been added, and if so, do nothing.

Right, that's why this is not the default. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticPrinterConfiguration

We have changed the default print management system in Ubuntu from gnome-cups-manager to system-config-printer because g-c-m is no longer maintained. Please open a new bug against system-config-printer if you still have this problem with Gutsy or Hardy. Thanks!
