I'm sorry but I can not follow here. IMHO it does not matter if I
use an own component or not. And well as I just can tell, the stuff
from the printer driver gets installed properly in the directory where
it is searched for. However that seems not to work for the Port
Monitor. I helped myself with installing the Monitor in a custom
action after having installed all the files. I can not tell if that is
supposed to be the way to go or not. The docs do not mention anything
about that.

Well I can not see hot this helps with my problem of installing a
unidrv based printer driver with a proper port monitor.
