No, Linux does not support stackable USB drivers, like the vfs can kind
of do today, and like Windows can offer you, sorry.

What do you want to do to the data stream to a printer?  Change it in
some way, or perhaps perform some external action?

The main reason why we do not support this today, is that you are able
to change the printer driver code itself, unlike other operating systems
:)
