~sigh~  Why do you have to try to make it out to be a bigger issue than it is?  
All I am asking for is the addition of the USB id of a known printer/scanner 
device such that it's permissions will be set appropriately?

There is no "ongoing maintenance" of such a task.  You do it once and be done 
with it.  As Ron Popeil says, set it and forget it.

That's not even necessary.  If others happen to have a printer they can identify 
as not being in the list of IDs then it's a simple matter of just reporting it, 
as I have done and asking it to be added.

Again, I understand your lack of enthusiasm for binary-only drivers.  I support 
that lack of enthusiasm and share it.  But I don't believe in making users
suffer unnecessarily for the short-sightedness of a hardware vendor.
