I think this raises a more important issue: If an indicator remains miss able (as I believe it was said messaging menu suffers from as well) does this mean we're doing indicators wrong or is it down to learned behaviors working against users?
In case of the messaging menu, I think it's not a bug but a feature, that at least I have to actively look for it, to see if I have new mails. That means it does not distract me, yet allows me to get that little piece of information very quickly, when I look for it.
The circumstances for the printing menu are different, starting with the fact that it is not always present.
What happened to the plans to put some common functionality into app-level indicators? Printing surely would have been a candidate?
