Hello,

Has anyone considered adding support to the USB Printer
driver that would allow multiple processes to open the
printer device, one able to write to the device and one
able to check status of the printer device?


Why is this needed?

For a custom application that could monitor printer status - out of paper, jam, etc.



Also, has anyone considered adding ioctl support to allow
a reset to be initiated from user-space?


What kind of reset? A printer reset, or a USB device reset?

Printer reset.

Thanks,
David


thanks,
