I am using udev-091 with linux-2.6.16.14 using only the rules from the udev
spell


I have 2 usb printers which are identified as /dev/lp0 and /dev/lp1. There
are no parallel port devices.

The latest version of cups (1.2.0) does automatic printer detection and
considers these devices as parallel LPT devices.

New Printers Found:
EPSON Stylus Photo R800 (EPSON Stylus Photo R800 LPT #2

It gets rather confusing when usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R800 does not work
but parallel:/dev/lp1 does.

In the past there were /dev/usblp* or /dev/usb/lp* nodes
