Usecase from a Wily gnome-shell session:

-  want to print some pdf files
- double click on the pdf to get it opened
- select 'print' from the top right corner icon
-  a 'Print' diolog box opens, showing the active printer and 6 tabs to set the printing parameters. At that step, the user expect to find 'all' the relative data concerning that active printer:  either a tab listing the job(s) queue (and opt-in options to deal with like system-config-printer do), or an icon to get 'system-config-printer' called (but its less userfriendly than a tab listing the jobs.

So the problem here are:
- there is not all the required info/data/settings viewable at once in the same place as expected
- the 'system-config-printer' (which works fine) is not known/found easily, so the user ignore its existence, and then is disapointed with its problem(s).

To resume, Till, please rework the design to get an 'All In One' radar ,
instead of these 'hidden/unknown' commands/popups

Title:
  job queue not populated and nothing listed

Status in CUPS:
  New
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  when a printing task is started, it happens that some old jobs are
  still in job queue and so are printed first instead of the wanted one.

  Opening the hplip toolbox, the old jobs are not listed, so its
  impossible to know about it/them and their numbers. And there is no
  option to blindly emptying that queue. Such working feature is really
  needed.

  But if the user ask for opening a task into that hplip toolbox, that
  time the job is displayed with its path. That is expected, but the
  real pain is about these old jobs not listed, not shown and fully
  unknown.

  On the other side cups is also fully ignoring to list & display these
  old jobs: this is also fully awaited.
