+# Assumptions: 
+# * There is no guarantee that multiple devices are re-assigned the same 
+# character device upon plug/unplug unless connection hierarchy/tree is
+# unchanged i.e. reboot gives the same order if connection topology is identical. 
+# * Depends on udev. char dev number assignment order not guaranteed.
+# * most users likely only have a single printer connected (mDNS announces one)
+
+# Step 1. Get /dev/usb/lpX and build THIS_USB_VIDPID from hotplug passed device.
+
+# Step 2a. Absent p910nd settings, auto configure settings with provided info.
+# A usbvidpid is an anchor: to ensure the printer receives the right blob.
+# Add other ieee1284_id derived info.
+
+# Step 2b. For a matching character device, augment its existing config with any
+# missing usbvidpid and ieee1284_id derived info.
+
+# Step 3. For matching character device and usbvidpid: send_driver
+
+# Caveat: hotplug always maps the first plugged device as /dev/usb/lp0. The 1st
+# /dev/usb/lp0 match in config gets augmented with THIS_USB_VIDPID, whether
+# it is the same "device" or not.
+# The process below runs send_driver, but the driver is not yet on disk.
+# This hotplug script aims for convenience, not technical perfection.
+# Note that this does not matter if the configured lp0 does not match the
+# current lp0. Why? We chose a specific filename for the blob, to which the user
+# provides the file post-factum. So worst-case: soft-bricking if the user puts
+# the wrong blob at the specified file path. This is an acceptable compromise to
+# perfection until we find better ways of shooting ourselves in the foot. :)
+
+# It is a configuration complexity that a p910nd end-user should anyhow be aware
+# of: that multiple devices cannot simultaneously use the same /dev/usb/lpX.
