+;; If zeroconf is enabled, all CUPS printers can be detected.  The
+;; "Postscript printer" menu will be modified dynamically, as printers
+;; are added or removed.
+
+;; Preconditions:
+;;
+;; * Emacs has D-Bus support enabled.  That is, D-Bus is installed on
+;;   the system, and Emacs has been configured and built with the
+;;   --with-dbus option.
+;;
+;; * The zeroconf daemon avahi-daemon is running.
+;;
+;; * CUPS has enabled the option "Share published printers connected
+;;   to this system" (see <http://localhost:631/admin>).
