On the other hand, it won't be able to use Zip drives, Freecom drives,
Backpack drives, etc etc.

My personal opinion is that it's a better idea to emulate the _port_, not
the peripheral.

On the other hand, having a virtual printer makes it easy to catch the
output in a text file, which can only be a good thing. (But this could be
done just as easily with some logic in a virtual parallel port..)
