    No.  What I meant was than since gnome-cups-manager and libgnomecups 
were
designed/implemented at the same time, they works better than trying to 
retrofit printman :)

The other thing I have been thinking about also:
- gnome-cups-manager  provides a printers view GUI that do two things 
together:
   o Print Queues Administration
   o Print Jobs Management

Whereas printman only provides
  o Print Jobs management (apart from it can set default printer, list 
of printers of interest)

    One might argue that gnome-cups-manager is bad in providing the 2 
functionalities
at one but it can be argued the other way.
