Right, Ubuntu uses gnome-cups-manager which has gnome-cups-icon to do
this. gnome-cups-manager also has an UI which make possible to configure
whatever printer you want, eggcups has not such feature (it autodetects
USB printers but if you have a smb or a lp printer you are screwed).
Which means that some people will probably install both (Ubuntu will not
drop gnome-cups-manager by example) and get duplicated features ...
