The 870 requires the same init string, I have confirmed this (and
I think the 800 was the one mentioned on the USB list).

Two printers and one scanner are USB, one printer is parallel and
one scanner is SCSI (and I forgot to mention my old NEC inkjet
that has no space on my desk anymore and has also a parallel=20
interface). The one thing I have not yet managed to do is to
randomly connect one or both of the USB printers and get it to
be assigned to the same usb special device every time... This
is a limitation of the current (OK I have to admit 2.3.39 is
not really current, but this backport was the only one that
worked with my scanner) USB implementation.=20
