You can turn off the text, thats how I made this. I am not suggesting we turn off text for things that aren't obvious, but if you have a printer icon, there's really no need for the text. I might be better to have 2 icon bars, 1 that has common easily recognisable icons with no text and 1 that has text and icons. What I'm basically trying to get at is that the icon's and text take up way to much space on the toolbar.
