The menu entry for printmgr shouldn't really be shown by default any more-- it's the old CDE print manager, which, while it offers a little extra functionality over ospm-pm, shouldn't really be needed by most users. I think the menu entry is gone in 2009.06, if you do a clean install... although printmgr itself is still installed. > Whatever: Are there plans to add CUPS's http://localhost:631 to the > Gnome Start Menu, or has it already been done? The current plan is to modify the Administration->Print Manager menu entry so that it starts the appropriate config GUI (ospm-pm or system- config-printer) depending on whether you have enabled LP or CUPS as your preferred print service. There are currently no plans to add a menu entry for http://localhost:631 -- partly because it would be difficult to make it disappear when you weren't using CUPS. Hopefully, most things you'd want to do via localhost:631 can also be done in the system-config-printer GUI; if not, we'll have to take a look and see how we can improve the user experience there.
