If anyone is missing functionality they need from the ur driver,
please let me know and I can probably add it without too much
difficulty. I've nearly finished porting it to the 2.6 kernel
(well, it compiles, so it's all over bar the shouting :-) and the
new driver model means I can add features fairly cleanly. For
printers, I'd guess the best thing would be an attribute like
echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/ur/0.0.001E/carriage-control
where the first character of each line is taken to be the CCW
command for that line (i.e. what "traditional" printer data
already includes as "carriage control").
