mpt: Not sure that's the right place to do so, but I'd like you to consider two issues about how system-config-printer handles notifications. Maybe they should go upstream if you think they're accurate.

- As specified in notify-osd plan in the wiki, the "Printer added" notification, which says "`%s' is ready for printing.", is now accompanied by the Properties dialog. I think that's not a good idea, because as the bubble says, the printer is *already* configured, and works in most cases. If you're an advanced user, you can still start this dialog manually, but there's no need to scare users with that complex dialog: they will believe they need to change something (e.g. the URI, first complex thing that is shown) when they could just print their document and get it. Just showing the notification should be enough.

- When a document has been printed, a bubble titled "Job #XXX" says something like "The printing is done." IMO the title should be either the name of the document (often very accurate, see Evince or OO.o), or "Document printed". Who cares about job numbers?!
