This would mean that additional printer-specific code needs to be
executed in addition to setting up a CUPS queue for the printer (in this
case unhiding the menu entry or installing a package which contains the
paper-out resetter utility and the menu entry). It is not the best idea
to implement such extra code in system-config-printer for every printer
coming up which needs exceptions.
It seems that Red Hat is following an idea of installing packages (from
the distro, not from OpenPrinting) triggered by detection of printers.
We could also pick up this idea and split our driver packages into
subpackages with very printer-model-specific things which could confuse
users not having an appropriate printer being separate and installed on
detection of this printer. Such packages can also contain udev-triggered
scripts which do extra steps for the setup of the printer. This also
will help to clean system-config-printer from printer/driver-specific
code.
This can not be implemented in Karmic, but it is a good idea for Lucid.
