Sorry the ticket is badly worded. What I meant was a device driver that
makes the serial port available for a serial port printer transport add-on
for example in /dev/printers/serial.
May be having this extra layer between the transport add-on and the "real"
serial port device driver is not necessary at all. I think BeOS had this
layer. That's way I suggested it here too. But our current USB transport
add-on for example does not make use of such a layer (any more) and
accesses the USB port directly.
