Probably just need a single sentence saying something like "You will likely need to have the appropriate drivers for your printer ("parallel printer support" if you have a parallel port printer for example) enabled in the kernel."
Or just copy-and-paste the text for SANE...
"To access your scanner, you will probably need the related kernel drivers and/or additional support packages. A SCSI scanner will need SCSI drivers, a parallel port scanner needs parallel port support (you should use enhanced EPP modes) and perhaps libieee1284 and a USB scanner will need the libusb-0.1.12 package. Ensure you have the necessary drivers properly configured to access the devices."
...and change "scanner" to "printer" (though libusb is not required for usb printers...or at least not all usb printers...).
