Not as funny as it seems - the error message “lp is on fire” really exists. Originally these bulky old tractor-fed matrix printers got really hot and would catch fire. That’s history, but in the early 2000s I experienced a 1990s SUN laser printer that had similar ambitions. Luckily it usually would blow some fuses before it got hot enough.
