That might be a bit problematic as the :interface keyword seems to take an implicit list of interfaces. From doc/descriptions.txt `:interface' defines how the device is connected to the computer. Its string argument can be one or more of "SCSI", "USB", "Parport", "Serial port", "IEEE-1394", "JetDirect", "Ethernet", or "Proprietary". At least the epson.desc, epson2.desc and epkowa.desc have entries with multiple interfaces defined.
