~sigh~ Why do you have to try to make it out to be a bigger issue than it is? All I am asking for is the addition of the USB id of a known printer/scanner device such that it's permissions will be set appropriately? There is no "ongoing maintenance" of such a task. You do it once and be done with it. As Ron Popeil says, set it and forget it. > You might even consider downloading the brother drivers > (windows or linux) and attempt to extract the list of supported usb > ids. That's not even necessary. If others happen to have a printer they can identify as not being in the list of IDs then it's a simple matter of just reporting it, as I have done and asking it to be added. Again, I understand your lack of enthusiasm for binary-only drivers. I support that lack of enthusiasm and share it. But I don't believe in making users suffer unnecessarily for the short-sightedness of a hardware vendor.
