This may be an useful addition, gave me a bit of a headache the past two
days.
Both the lp and the usblp driver create devices named lp[n], though
the kernel messages suggest an usblp[n] device for the USB printer.
When both a parallel port printer and an USB printer are attached they will
both be called lp0 leaving the system with only one device node. (So one of
the printers will be missing)
So far the best way to make a distinction seemed to be filtering on
subsystem, e.g.:
# printers
KERNEL="lp[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM="printer", NAME="printer/lpt%n"
KERNEL="lp[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM="usb", NAME="printer/usb%n"
This way parallel port printers will be called 'printer/lpt[n]' and USB
printers 'printer/usb[n]'.
