            Bug ID: 227052
           Summary: print/hplip: no man pages for hp-*
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

hplip ships with auxiliary documentation in /usr/local/share/doc/hplip.
It also installs numerous programs as hp-xxx in /usr/local/bin.
None of the installed hp-xxx programs has a man page.
They should at least have a minimal man page referencing the installed
documentation and telling you to run "hp-xxx -h".  Otherwise the user has to
grep around or look at the port pkg-plist to see what and where the
documentation is, particularly when you don't know which package installed =
it.

Better would be to have an actual man page.  Perhaps the output of "hp-xxx =
-h"
could be used to generate a minimal man page.
