This is not just a printer problem. I have multiple USB scanners (up
to three) connected to my machine. Depending on the order in which 
I power them on they are assigned /dev/usb/scanner[012].

I have to admit that the print queue problem is much worse than what
Sane does with these, but I would still like to assign one physical
device to a specific device file.

Would the hot-plugging support be the right place to look for a 
solution?
