Description:   Opened: 2006-08-11 09:55 0000
For the second time in few weeks, I helped out someone on the forums who had
installed gnome, had cups installed, but didn't have
System->Administration->Printing, i.e. gnome-cups-manager, to control their
printers. This package should either be a dependency of the gnome meta-package
controlled by the cups USE flag, or it should be a dependency of cups if the
gnome USE flag is set. Having a modern desktop environment with no easy way to
setup/control printers is not a good situation. Poking around the ebuilds, I
see that nautilus used to have a cups USE flag (now commented out) so this
isn't a new idea.

What makes solving this particular problem even harder for people is that there
is a gnome-print package also available. It's for gnome-1.x apps and therefore
useless for current-day gnome, but people searching for a package to manage
their printers under gnome see that and think they've found the answer -- until
it doesn't work.

gnome-2.16.0 has a cups USE flag that pulls in gnome-cups-manager.  cups is on
by default in most profiles.
