Package: gnome
Version: 58
Severity: minor

Soon after logging into a gnome session an error dialog is displayed 
saying "could not start the printer tray icon, because the CUPS server
could not be started".  I don't have any printers attached to the
system and have never looked into what would be needed to do so.
It's a bit of an annoyance to have this popping up in your face.
