This is just off the top of my head, but IMHO we ideally shouldn't need both of these menu entries; the print queue monitor should probably just be enhanced to allow you to add and remove printers as well. In the interim I guess that could be done just by firing up the existing Java app as required (after prompting for an admin password, if necessary), although that's obviously kind of a sucky way to do it. We could perhaps even get rid of the proposed menu entry for spadmin (the Star/OpenOffice printer config tool) too, by making the print queue monitor the entry point for that as well.
