Bug Description

Upstream, system-config-printer renamed their settings panel to "Print Settings". This looks pretty out of place in System Settings where no other panel has "Settings" in its name. This is a regression from 12.04. Screenshot attached.

I'd like to rename this to "Printers" which is what GNOME calls their panel. We have talked the past two release cycles about using the GNOME panel by default; maybe next cycle that will happen. For consistency, it would be better to change the name earlier.

If approved, I can upload the patched system-config-printer before Beta 2 Freeze. I will also ensure ubuntu-docs uses the new name in its docs before Beta 2 Freeze also.

Apologies for the short notice but I think this should be an easy yes/no decision.

Hi Jeremy,

To be honest, I'm in two minds about this one. I think the change in
itself makes sense, although at this point in the cycle I'd be leaning
towards just leaving the string as it is. It's not the extra work, it's
just the fact that some translation teams might not notice the change
and end up with an untranslated string at release time without noticing.

I'd give it a +0.

That said, as there is already another translator that gave his +1, and
unless someone else says the contrary, I guess that's a +1 as result :)

Cheers,
David.

  * Use "Printers" not "Print Settings" to be more consistent with other
