Dear Jonathan,

it is hard to answer as I do not have the newcomer's point of view anymore.  If
it really works as explained, that the user can be in any of these groups, then
the explanation is fine.  Otherwise, if on Debian the user specifically needs
to be in lpadmin, then I think that extra information would be helpful.

Have a nice Sunday,
