I think that if /dev/printer/0 is controlled by a lkm'ed driver,
that's exactly what happens, no matter what. I'd expect that in
the devd case, you'd have to populate /dev with every possible
device so that you could actually do the open, have the kernel tell
kmod to load the driver, then the information would go off to devd
to, ummm....

\/ to be slightly less useful than the male nipple.
