You can also use ioctl() to get the IEEE-1284 device ID. You'd still need to search through the /dev/usb/lpXX space.
BTW: There were some additional ioctl()s that were written by David Paschal for the hp printer/scanner project - http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/download/experimental/linux-usb/ Any reason why these couldn't be added into 2.5? Oliver, you just looked at the printer driver right? Anthing about the patch that raises concern or ire?
