And my grandmother (or your grandmother) would know to go to System > Administration > Services how? Even when they get there and see 'Printer service (cupsys)', it's not even clear if it has started or not. There is simply a check mark. No warning that the printer server is down, no method of telling the user how to get it back up. It's more logical to go to System > Administration > Printing and have a button that says 'Start Server' than to go to System > Administartion > Services ("What's a service and how does it correlate to my printer?" a regular user would ask).

I agree that I, as a power-user can fix these problems very easily, but none of my clientèle can because they need/want a point-and-click interface. Ubuntu is trying to provide such an interface, so I don't think this option should be overlooked.
