Sorry, got to tell you that you got a detail wrong :-)
The Grand-Prix does work with the NCR, too!
But it takes a one line patch in versions of the driver
distibuted before the latest SNAP, to make it work.
If you need to use the Grand-Prix with an earlier
version of the NCR driver, just change the line reading
(near line 6650, depending on the exact revision):
{"", "", "", 0} /* catch all: must be last entry. */
into:
{"", "", "", QUIRK_NOMSG} /* catch all: must be last entry. */
(Lines in the neighborhood changed, so I can't easily
offer a context diff.)
