Yes, Vanessa warned me about it. It can be useful, but IMO, could be
annoying in some cases as well. For example, if an user has a printer
that can't be
installed on linux (multifunctional?) and uses another operating system
in the same computer that supports this printer, every time the user
boots on mandriva it will warn the user about a printer that can't be
installed. But if the user really wants to install this printer, it is
possible to access system-config-printer through menu, or mcc, when I
finish the integration.

What you mean remove? remove the queue from cups, or remove the device
from the computer?
If you mean remove from the computer, it is working. hal_lpadmin checks
if there is the same id in cups and only re-enable the queue.
(and notify the user that it was re-enabled).
The way it works now: there is no wizard, when you plug your printer and
you have all the needed software installed, it will
automatically install your printer and only notify the user about what
was done in a popup. At least I can't see any reasons someone would
connect a printer to the computer and refuse the installation. If it is
plugged, it is because the user wants it to be installed.

It requires firmware upload, right?
Wait for your feedback :)
