Description
I wonder a bit about the different usage of place-holders in the provided udev rule file.
- Is it important to express that only two characters may follow a known prefix?
- Does it matter if a specific filter pattern can be eventually checked faster by the involved software than the other specification (using an asterisk instead of question marks)?

Research direction
Review udev/70-printers.rules, especially the placeholder patterns linked in the issue, and compare how known prefixes and wildcard lengths are expressed. The issue does not define a preferred convention or a test, so first determine the intended rule syntax and performance implications before identifying what a consistent result would be.
