A printer group is just like a normal printer,
only that it is usually unknown from the printing
system. Create printer groups exactly the same
way that you create printers, then add other
printers to them with this option.
Accounting is done on a printer and on all
the printer groups it belongs to, quota checking
is done on a printer and on all the printer groups
it belongs to.
If the \fB\-\-remove\fR option below is not used, the
default action is to add printers to the specified
printer groups.
