Public bug reported: when opening a gtk print dialog (evince, firefox etc), the list of printers is jumping up and down when many printers are listed. i am not sure if this is related to cups reporting different number of printers each time asked or is this some kind of a list sorting problem in gnome when repeated sorting is not stable.
the behavior is quite annoying since it is very hard to select a particular printer from such a list that changes so fast. the attachment illustrates the issue.
