Comment 2 for bug 132227

The user interface of the gnome-cups-manager was really simpler than the one of system-config-printer. Problem is that gnome-cups-manager is not maintained upstream any more, so we would be on our own fixing the numerous bugs and also adding new features. To not need to invent the wheel twice and also to avoid duplicate effort on bug fixing we decided to switch to system-config-printer which is very well upstream-maintained. It also contains the Plug'n'Print feature (automatic print queue setup) which was one of our planned feature additions already on the Ubuntu Developer Summit in November of last year.
