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.
