Yes, I think improved wording is quite necessary.

Right now I see a warning that says "Not published" "See server
settings".  That message is simply baffling.

First, what does "published" mean?  Does it mean shared?

Second, what is "server settings"?  I couldn't find any control panel
called server settings.  I guess it's referring to the menu Server, with
the item Settings, but that's pretty obscure isn't it?

How about changing the message to "Won't be shared until 'Enable Printer
Sharing' is checked"?  And put a button right next to it that would
bring up the Preferences dialog.

I like the idea of graying "Shared" out when sharing is turned off, but
right next to it needs to be a message or a button telling how to enable
it.
