Bug#499221: Additional suggestions

[Helle]

I totally agree with the above description. One of the most annoying 
things in gnome now. In addition I intentionally like to print 
"off-line" i.e. on my laptop and when I come back simply connect to the 
LAN and print.

So I would suggest:
1. First notification that somethings goes wrong (off line, paper-jam,...)
2. Statically change icon (color red?) - s.o. can see the fault
No regular pop-ups!
3. Notification if the print is going on and changing the icon to normal 
behavior
