Bug#381392: LPRng docs incorrectly state that it doesn't support USB



Package: lprng-doc
Version: 3.8.28-4
Severity: normal

Chapter 11 of LPRng-Reference.html says,

Common communication methods between a printer and a host system are network
connections, parallel ports, or serial ports; while Fibre Channel, SCSI,
USB, FireWire, InfraRed, and other interesting technologies have been used,
they are either very specialized or not directly support by the LPRng
software. In this section we will discuss Network, Parallel Port, and Serial
Printers, as well as the different protocols and standards that apply to
them.


I'm told that LPRng actually does support USB.  Reading the docs convinced
me to not even try.  I think you might fix this.
