[STR New]

The notion of 'Classes' across the UI isn't intuitive to new users. This
seems like a programming concept poking through into the user space. It
should probably be renamed to "Printer types" or something.  It probably
shouldn't be raised as a top-level choice option either, it would be
better under the Administration and/or Printers panels as "Administer
printer types..."

When adding new printers:
	
Change the label of the current "Name:" field to "Unique name:"
(provide Javascript to detect illegal chars?)

After hitting the first 'continue' button check for an existing
printer of the same name. The system currently just checks for duplicates
at the end of the add sequence!

Regards,
Brian
