That is considered normal for Unix printers.  If you want the complexity 
of a filter that autodetects input type, save adding that for later.

Do not use IP addresses.  lpd really, really, *really* wants a

name above.

Depending on where those notes are, that should be mentioned to the 
author of the notes or the port maintainer.
