Public bug reported:

When you add a new printer, and type a name for it (step 3 of 3 of the
wizard), it complained when I used spaces in the printer name.

I wanted to type "HP Laserjet 6P", but had to resort to "HP_Laserjet_6P"
instead.

In /etc/fstab, you can specifiy spaces for mounting points, by escaping them like this: \040
so I tried that: "HP\040Laserjet\0406P", but it doesn't work.

Would be nice to be able to use spaces, printer names would look better.
After all, in the print dialog, the other "printers" (Postcript, and PDF) have spaces in them...

** Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
