Fwd: ipp-usb: exposing device serial number and vendor/device ID via TXT record

Hi Mike,

[Forwarded from OP mailing list]

This looks questionable, from the point of interoperability.  Comments to
Alexander?

Hi!

I want to be able to match devices, exported by the ipp-usb, with the
underlying USB devices, because every second user asks "where is my
newly connected USB printer?" and needs to be pointed to the list of the
network printers.

For this purpose I want to add a couple of parameters to the TXT record,
published by the ipp-usb:

     usb_SER=VCF9192281  ; Device serial number
     usb_HWID=0482&069d  ; Its vendor and device ID

However, if there are already standard names defined for this purpose,
I'd prefer to follow the standard. Please, point me to the right
direction at this case.

WDYT?
