I'm now working in a more "politically correct" way around that issue [1]. The outline is that we _add_ a backend to CUPS[2], which will bring back USB addressing by /dev/.. name. Then, we could implement udev rulesets which will create "by-id" symlinks to the usblpX devices. My work is at github under "cups-usbbackend". [1] it is a blocking point for my business, as I cannot attach a second printer. [2] it could remain a complementary package until we really agree we want that code mainline. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
