Thanks for your answer David,
nevertheless, if I want something generic that I can choose which driver I
want to replace... Is there some central place that the usb-core driver
searches to know which driver to load ?
besides, sometimes, a more appropriate than the generic class driver that is
provided in the Linux USb baseline is needed. In general, the "Universal USB
rules" say, first load the specific vendor/product driver than if no such
driver is available load the class/subclass driver. How this scheme works
under Linux ?
Thanks
Barak

For a modular kernel, you can use the USBD scripts
available from the www.linux-usb.org website. (The
FAQ is a place to start, but this question isn't
there ...) Then the /etc/usb/drivers/printer config
script just gets replaced with something that knows
to load the "mydriver" module instead.
For a static kernel, you'll need to swap out the
"printer.o" for "mydriver.o".
