JG> Are you implying here that /dev/printer/0 is created at open() time?
Not just /dev/printer/0 but also /dev/printer directory if it's not there.
JG> IMHO that is a bad idea.
Why ? bunch of modules will be loaded when you'll try to access /dev/lp0
without devfs so creation of file in open() call looks like logical next step...
