Hi.

LGTM with one nit:
I suspect the patch as is will go past our 80 character hard limit.
[Though PEP008 has a 79 character limit ... yay.]
While in C we would put the '%' on the next line, I think we follow
the opposite convention in python. That's what the surrounding
code does anyway, so move printer.name to the next line.

And, yeah, small enough to not need a copyright assignment.

Thanks!
