[STR New]

We realized that the HP Deskjet 3550 doesn't contain a "HP" in the USB
DeviceURI. The customer complains that the names are not predictable.

Here is a dump of the ioctl():

3b5a 3a30 3033 3b                         ;Z:003;

output from usb backend:
direct usb://3550?serial=TH3741451H76 "3550" "USB Printer #2"
customer wishes to see:
usb://HP/deskjet%203550?serial=TH3741451H76

I recommend that there should be a small test in get_device_id() in file
ieee1284.c, whether there is at least one letter and one space in "DES:",
otherwise the "MFG"/"MDL" substitution should be used.
