[Cooker] Turning off auto configuration of printers

Not sure if this is a bug or if I've misconfigured something while poking and
prodding.

Every time I boot up, something automatically adds a new printer (HP 1600
Series Printer). The identification and configuration are correct, but I
already have that printer set up under a different name (PSC1610). I also
have a second instance set up as a raw printer for printing through samba
from a WinXP box. I've gone into printerdrake (Menubar>Options>Configure Auto
Administration) and unchecked everything, but it still happens. Is there some
other setting I'm missing?

Also, my two existing printers now start to print but then are disabled by
hal_lpadmin because they're "disconnected or shut off." Except, of course,
that they aren't. I have to go into printerdrake and manually enable them
before they will print.

This started happening about the time hal-cups-utils-0.6.16-3mdv2009.0 was
installed.

Any suggestions? If it's a bug, what should I report it against?

Thanks,
