When right clicking a printer there is a check mark next to Shared on a
default installation even if the printers are not published under Server
> Settings, this is confusing for users.

Wouldn't it be better to not show the global setting "Publish shared
printers connected to this system" under Server > Settings and let
system-config-printer individual printer "Shared" option activate the
global and individual sharing CUPS setting at the same time. The
"Shared" option should only be checked when both the global and
individual sharing setting are active.

This avoids any warning messages or gray outs and clearly shows a user
when a printer is shared.

What do you think?

system-config-printer should show more clearly whether printers are shared
