Re: device-uri conflict?

Hi Bob,

Why not make the URI mostly fixed but have an extension on it that is unique for that particular host? The unique part (MAC address, # of seconds since Jan 1, 1970) could be used to make them distinct, but would be ignored for the act of generating the file. It doesn't seem like this would complicate your situation too much.

I am installing a printer which is really a file-writer.
There is a custom backend, PDE, and PPD. All works very well, until I try to install one on a system which has already mounted another one just like it via Rendezvous from another computer which has printer sharing turned on.
Since my custom backend has a fixed device-uri, it conflicts, and refuses to install the local version.
Is there a way to work around this?
