"""This command can be placed in /usr/lib/cups/notifier and
used as the notifications' recipient when creating IPP subscriptions.

It will automatically ensures that each time a printer is added or
removed from CUPS it is also added or removed from PyKota's database.

IMPORTANT : because of a bug in CUPS 1.2.1, this command only works
the first time a notification is sent."""
