Part of the solution is to make printer installation better. Our plans
at Redhat is to have the auto-setup dialog you get when you plug in a
new printer allow you to set the installable options with a UI. Then the
user will easily find these settings, but won't be forced to see them
all the time in their day-to-day UI.
