Bug#603020: Similar bug reported in ubuntu

There are some useful comments on this launchpad report for ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/842768

Their bug is assigned to gnome-settings-daemon instead, but the cause
is the same.

Basically, the message comes from the fact that cups is reporting
"connecting-to-device".  It doesn't mean that the device is not
connected, which is what the notification conveys.  IMO, this message
should never be displayed because it shouldn't take long to connect to
the device (probably much less than a second).  Also, it will connect in
the same way every time, so even if it did take a while to connect, the
user would get used to that.

I've modified jobviewer.py to suppress this message, but I don't know
much about python so I'm not sure how to get the .py file into the .pyc
file so it'll take effect for testing.  I'll probably have to build a
local package to test it.
