Fabien Meghazi 3b4c7951b6 [REM] odoo_sh: remove incorrect information about cups
CUPS the server will never be installed on an Odoo.sh machine.
That being said you can use a remote printer with a cups client.
The problem lays in the sorry state of libcups dependencies so we will
try to get a reliable section in the documentation for 20.04 as soon as
we can get a testcase.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that the command line `lp` cups cli
client tool could be used as a workaround in the OCA concerned module:

==================================
Frequent Technical Questions
==================================
"Scheduled actions do not run at the exact time they were expected"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Odoo.sh platform, we cannot guarantee an exact running time for scheduled actions.
This is due to the fact that there might be multiple customers on the same server, and we must guarantee a fair share of the server for every customer. Scheduled actions are therefore implemented slightly differently than on a regular Odoo server, and are run on a *best effort* policy.
.. warning::
Do not expect any scheduled action to be run more often than every 5 min.
Are there "best practices" regarding scheduled actions?
-------------------------------------------------------
**Odoo.sh always limits the execution time of scheduled actions (*aka* crons).**
Therefore, you must keep this fact in mind when developing your own crons.
We advise that:
- Your scheduled actions should work on small batches of records.
- Your scheduled actions should commit their work after processing each batch;
this way, if they get interrupted by the time-limit, there is no need to start over.
- Your scheduled actions should be
`idempotent <https://stackoverflow.com/a/1077421/3332416>`_: they must not
cause side-effects if they are started more often than expected.
