My idea now for a better fdi generator script is to generate an fdi file

Please do the following test:
- Plug in and turn on your HP device on USB.
- Do lshal hal.txt and search for the model name of your HP device in

pitti, about the empty product IDs, many of these printers are old

# 1 = parallel
# 2 = usb
# 4 = ethernet
# 8 = wireless 802.11

Then run something like

First, note that there are also many 'usb-pid=' cases. These have to
be considered as empty product IDs, too.
So with

egrep -B1 '^usb-pid=(|0+)$' | grep io-support | grep [2367] | wc -l
there are 62 devices with USB port
I think it is an upstream issue that HP provides the USB IDs
instead of let the distributions implement complicated workarounds.
