You can configure programs started in your session via
gnome-session-properties.
I've just documented this in gnome-cups-manager's README.Debian which
will be part of the next upload (attached).
Let me know if you disagree with the resolution or have a better one.

Disabling gnome-cups-icon
=========================
On large networks, with shared CUPS servers, it might be desirable not to
start the gnome-cups-icon which regularly polls the CUPS server for the
status of jobs.
gnome-cups-icon is launched by gnome-session by default, but this is
configurable via gnome-session-properties.
