Bug Description

When searching the Dash for 'Printers', two printer options are shown with the same image

One is the printer option via System Settings and one is System-Config-Printer

This is confusing to users as to which one is supposed to be used

I don't have any proposed solution, it's just confusing. Maybe rename System-Config-Printer to something different in the Dash?
