[cups.general] Two issues: one annoying, one confusing

I'm just getting in to CUPS and quite pleased with it's feature-rich 
character.  I do have two issues however:

1.  After a print job has been submitted to the printer, the web 
interface continues to present the status:/ "Print file sent, waiting 
for printer to finish..."/   This is confusing for our lab monitors who 
support those users who print in the public access computer labs.  Is 
this a bug in CUPS, or is it a configuration thing that I haven't gotten 
far enough into CUPS to figure out yet?

2.  I'm running the version of CUPS (v1.1.23) that comes bundled with 
Fedora Core and I'm using the system-config-printer command and the GUI 
it brings up to add new printers, setup the drivers, etc.  Whenever I do 
that, I loose the ability to access the web interface from my 
workstation and in order to get access back, I have to manually edit the 
cupsd.conf file and add back in a Listen <hostname>:631 option so it can 
be accessed by other than localhost (no, I do not delete the Listen 
127.0.01:631 line).  What do I do to keep that from happening all the time.

Thanks,
Rob
