What is needed is a *comment* in GENERIC telling users to change net to tty
if they want to use their printers.
Adding a comment to this effect would hurt nobody, require very little effort,
and would save very, very many people a lot of heart-ache and time.
I sent a PR with this suggestion, but so far it seems not to have been
followed.
Please, please add a comment in GENERIC, sufficiently near the lines.
