(based mostly off of this forum post:
https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/system-config-printer-wont-run/54621/2)
It looks like it's related to the module being placed within a
directory within the =site-packages= directory?

Python doesn't seem to like that the =cuphelpers= directory is within
the =cupshelpers-1.0-py3.12.egg= directory (it wants
=site-packages/cuphelpers= rather than
=site-packages/cupshelpers-1.0-py3.12.egg/cuphelpers=, like it's
currently ending up).

Not a solution Guix can just use, as is, but running ~sudo ln -sf
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/cupshelpers-1.0-py3.12.egg/cupshelpers
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/cupshelpers~ seemed to fix things, for them.
