printers@linux-man: Applet Displays Icon When It Shouldn't (CUPS is Disabled)

[JustBugReporting]

Cinnamon version

Cinnamon 6.2.9

Distribution

Mint 22

What happened?

printers@linux-man displays the applet icon when CUPS is disabled and there are no printers in the system, even when the "Show printer icon" option is set to "When printer exists".

I think it's caused by incorrect handling of the output of lpstat -a when CUPS is disabled.

In my case, the output of lpstat -a is lpstat: Scheduler is not running, and it's probably being interpreted by the applet as true rather than being handled properly.

I installed the applet from the author's repository (https://github.com/linux-man/cinnamon-printers), and it works as expected, whereas the applet from Cinnamon is affected by the bug I described. It seems that the cinnamon-spices-applets repository needs a more robust and faster automated process for syncing applets with upstream repositories.
