Bug#354535: gnome-cups-manager: Unable to find the program from Menu

[Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan]

Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.31-1.1
Severity: grave

Hi,

This is a usability problem that I encountered. I expected the
gnome-cups-manager (or some kind of print configuration menu) to
appear under the Applications->System Tools menu as to be expected
with any GNOME configuration tool, but I cannot find any kind of
way to invoke it from not only this place but also the place
pointer out by the menu file.

The purpose of projects like GNOME is defeated by making it difficult
to find, let alone, difficult to use. I am *not* a lay user and I
experience a lot of difficulty get printing to work with GNOME,
gnome-cups-manager is just one hurdle. I wonder how difficult it
will be for a lay user to use a printer with GNOME.
