Thanks for replying. I am trying to create a persistent symlink (e.g. HL-1050) to the lp0 device. The modalias or ieee1284_id attributes are in one group, but KERNEL="lp0" is in another. So what is the best way to have a symlink /dev/HL-1050 -> /dev/usb/lp0 created automatically? It used to be as easy as SUBSYSTEM="usb", sysfs{modalias}="usb:v04F9p0002d0100dc00dsc00dp00ic07isc01ip02", SYMLINK="HL-1050" but that now gives a link to device nodes like /dev/usbdev2.3_ep82 instead of /dev/usb/lp0.
