Compared to system-config-printer the interface is much simpler, and the
look of the main window is more polished. Also the main window provides more
info. A very good feature is that it is made use of the D-Bus service of
system-config-printer to make driver decisions.
Yes, I believe that the integrated Printers panel in
gnome-control-center provides a nicer overall experience than the
standalone system-config-printer.
Are there major shortcomings you want to see fixed before 17.10's release?
Thanks,

Some more testing:
1. Clicking existing printers and trying to open their options dialogs
results in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pk-helper/+bug/1697288
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pk-helper/+bug/1697291
2. If clicking the "Add.." button a list of printers to add appears. But
the list is useless. For every CUPS queue which is already installed an
entry with "-2" added to the queue name and an SMB URI appears. The
really relevant entries, my USB printer and my network printer (which
appear in "lpinfo -v") are not in the list.
Output of "lpinfo -v":
