I don't know how to tell you "which message", since I don't read this as a
newsgroup.

>From the LPRng Reference Manual:

         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.

Silly me, believing the docs!  So, can you give me tips on setting up LPRng
with hplip for a Laserjet 1012.  Clearly the documentation can't.
