This is just plain wrong.  Gnome-print should show the queues that are
on your machine so one can print with.  One should almost never have to
type a queue name in.  Many home users have more than one printer.

This small attention to detail is the stuff that makes the desktop nice
to use for average users.  I mean what queue name do I type in???  No
one knows unless they know to look in /etc/printcap, just doesn't cut
it.

Imagine setting up GNOME on a corporate desktop, how does the secretary
find a different printer?  Not by typing in a print queue name thats for
sure.
