Expected results:

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2008-09-11 16:12:13 UTC 
It'll be every time you connect the printer, not every time you print.  Changing component to hal-cups-utils.
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2008-11-04 13:32:53 UTC 
As far as I can tell this warning is just wrong.
Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 03:00:24 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 4 Tom London 2009-01-13 14:31:20 UTC 
I haven't seen this message for quite some time.

I'm running rawhide, so hard for me to test with F10.

Closing as "rawhide".
