I agree.

But want to point out that manufacturers should also keep in mind,
that there is no _our_ nor any _single_ printer on _the_ only USB
port.

Means: LSB team should remember manufacturers regularly to avoid using
a direct communication to "/dev/usb/lp*" (or similar) to a printer in
their drivers.

Thanks in advance.

Kindly regards,
	Klaus.
