This is not regex, it's perl extended regex you're using here. Maybe
we run into trouble, if we extend CUPS tools by perl too.

We might want to use POSIX regex please, as defined in regex(7)?

I think, the rest of the discussion has to be answered by the author
of "lpinfo" (= CUPS team). It's fine with me, if we extend CUPS in
such a way.
