This is where I get stuck.  I do not know how to refer to the scsi
printer device.  There does NOT appear to be any sd[a-z] binding; nor is
there any sg[0-9] binding:

    # sudo grep sd /var/log/dmesg
    Password:
    SCSI device sda: 145226112 512-byte hdwr sectors (74356 MB)
    SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
    SCSI device sda: 145226112 512-byte hdwr sectors (74356 MB)
    SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
     sda: sda1
    sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda

    # cat /proc/scsi/scsi
    Attached devices:
    Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
      Vendor: ATA      Model: WDC WD740GD-50FL Rev: 33.0
      Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 05


The only reference I see is to "scsi0".

What am I missing?
