Then it seems to me that cups or system-config-printer are missing the
dep, not control-center.

$ FILES=`rpm -ql system-config-printer | grep 'py$'` ; for i in `rpm -ql
samba-client | grep /bin/` ; do BASENAME=`basename $i` ; grep -l
$BASENAME $FILES && echo $i ; done
/usr/share/system-config-printer/troubleshoot/CheckPrinterSanity.py
/usr/bin/nmblookup

Looks like system-config-printer might be responsible for the missing
dep. Would be better if that wasn't needed though.

Shouldn't printers work even with system-config-printer isn't present on the system tho?
There are some people who would really like not to have system-config-printer by default at all.
