Bugs
Someone who knows the Linux printing system very well needs to sit down and write a comprehensive "how to debug printing problems" document: in particular, how to identify in which package the problem is, which debug information to collect, and common workarounds/tests which help the reporter's immediate problem and are useful for diagnosis.
