What about moving the module back to 'system' where it was for 3.0, so we 
don't change behaviour, and introduce a top-level "Printing" branch with the 
manager split up in KDE 3.1?

One could argue that we could leave it in 'preipherals' for 3.0, but then the 
module would move in 3 successive versions (2.2, 3.0, 3.1), which is of 
course not good.

I can't remember the top-level 'printing' branch in the earlier discussion, 
actually, but I like the idea. Are there any opposers to it?
