When cups has set the "SystemGroup" directive to an external group provided through sss and cups starts before sssd has finished booting, cups will crash because the group does not exist. For instance, with a group named <email address hidden> served from Active Directory through sssd, if the sssd service hasn't booted before cups:

If sssd is running before cups starts, everything works as expected.
