 You can configure programs started in your session via
 gnome-session-properties.

 I've just documented this in gnome-cups-manager's README.Debian which
 will be part of the next upload (attached).

 Let me know if you disagree with the resolution or have a better one.

Disabling gnome-cups-icon
=========================

 On large networks, with shared CUPS servers, it might be desirable not to
 start the gnome-cups-icon which regularly polls the CUPS server for the
 status of jobs.

 gnome-cups-icon is launched by gnome-session by default, but this is
 configurable via gnome-session-properties.
