sounds good.

I had a poroposal at UDS in Sevilla that did not get scheduled but I talked about it with Martin informally.

Martin's main objection was that the UI is not as intuitive as gnome-cups-manager's.
The latter has a nautilus-like 'folder view' with printers and add new icon, much like windows has.
s-c-p has a more advanced and powerful but less intuitive one.

Another problem was that when I showed Martin the app, setting server paramteres for some reason did not stuck
in /etc/cups.conf or only did unpredictably. That's a bug that is definitely fixable but did not help in showing s-c-p
in a favourable light at that point :)
