Hi,  on a freshyl installed Debian desktop system a find a strange icon called
"HPLJ 10xx Replaced Paper" in my Applications menu. The problem I find in this
icon is (1) that I don't own such a printer and (2) that its rather ugly GUI
(sorry) doesn't fit to my GNOME desktop in any way.   I'd like to suggest two
possible ways how to reduce this negative desktop experience: 1) This icon gets
disabled by default in the /usr/share/applications/hplj1020.desktop file or 2)
this icon gets disabled by default in GNOME (thus CCing pkg-gnome team).  I do
think, however, that this package is usefull enough to keep it as part of a
standard install so I would not suggest to remove it from this task (which
would theoretically make a third option).  Cheers, Fabian
