Bug Description
Binary package hint: system-
When a document is printed, system-
When printing is complete, the tool serves little purpose and is not actually notifying the user of anything. By being visible in the notification area, it is quite confusing; it appears that the printer should be active, when in fact it is not.
Unless instructed otherwise via the command line, this tool should automatically hide its notification area icon when all print jobs are complete. If the user wants more information that is available in that program, he can open it in the main menu under System Tools.

Patch welcome. Things that need to be considered:
- the icon is needed for attaching notifications to, so we need to be sure there are no outstanding notifications when hiding it
- new notifications need to make the icon visible again in order to attach them to it
- we also super-impose warning/error symbols onto that icon, so we need to make sure to avoid hiding the icon in that situation as well
