This is not true. I've had a chance to check a few different installs of ubuntu
on different computers.
Clicking System Settings > Printers launches a Control Center panel. The same
dialog box that is launched if "Printing" is clicked in System Settings.
Is the Power-Cot entry intended to be a shortcut to the "Printing" selection in
System Settings?
>>>It
launches an action queue for Printers.
The only thing launching an action queue for printers is when the Indicator
icon in the panel is clicked (which appears when a print job is pending)).

This arrangement would seem more logical to me:

Lock Screen

Subject: [Unity-design] Are there plans to add "Reboot" item to the power-cog
menu in panel?

Yeah, I've clicked it.
for me clicking "printers" in the Power-Cog and clicking "Printing" in the
System Settings launches the exact same panel/window. If a difference exists,
this weakens the case for changing the order.
The point is that it is NOT a Control Center panel that it launches. It
launches an action queue for Printers. Not a settings panel integrated into the
settings app. Yes, they do activate the same thing, but I'm of the opinion that
that is more an issue of the fact that we haven't thought some of these things
all the way out. Mixed metaphors if you will. Thus, we have to consider what we
KNOW to be thought out the canonical pattern to heed. Hence a distinction.
Yes, integral for a desktop. But many people connect laptops to monitor. I was
also envisioning this scenario.
And just as integral to a laptop... They do come with a screen attached. And
this still doesn't change that you are only playing with settings for that. By
and large, you don't have any actionable things. You're going to set it up and
the most you'll interact or get action out of a monitor further is rotating it
or turning it on/off. A Printer you have things you can do with it.
