Let's imagine you have a couple of chinese noname printers, having same vid/
pid, and both has 0000000 as serial (just like it is common case for android 
smartphones).

How would you differ which exactly printer do you want to call with your URI 
scheme? :)

// So, in my opinion, it should, at least, also contain usb bus info (bus ID 
and device-on-bus ID).
