I haven't received any feedback on this yet, but I just ran into a situation where this
group-thing may be affecting. In /etc/cups/cups-files.conf I've set SystemGroup as:

SystemGroup sys root users "domain users"

However, cups does not like this:

# cupsd -t
"/etc/cups/cups-files.conf" contains errors.

I have to remve the "domain users" setting for cups to run. On the other domain member where
`getent group Domain\ Users` works, this cups SystemGroup setting is accepted.
