Some are important to not loose features when switching over, but the other

what I think is needed for the switchover to GNOME's tool:
Till,
Are you ok with the GNOME printer panel in gnome-control-center for 17.10?
Should we drop system-config-printer from the ubuntu-desktop metapackage now?
(gnome-control-center depends on system-config-printer-common)
Thanks,

Quick check shows the following issues:
1. One cannot easily see which is the default printer, one has to click
the gear icon of each print queue and see whether "Default Printer" is
checked.
2. The "Add ..." function to add a new printer does not only list the
discovered printers but also every already set-up printer as an SMB
printer. This does not make sense and is irritating, especially the user
does not find the relevant printers then. Autodiscovered printers SMB
printers from the local machine should be suppressed.
If you could fix these issues we can switch over, but with these issues
present I would stay with system-config-printer.
