+cups-pk-helper is a PolicyKit helper to configure cups with
+fine-grained privileges.
+
+For example, it's possible to let users enable/disable printers without
+requiring a password, while still requiring a password for editing
+printer settings.
+
+To make it easy to integrate cups-pk-helper in system-config-printer,
+the D-Bus API is based to a large extent on the pycups one.
