You could try making symlinks using hotplugd(8) attach and detach scripts,

of course they will be called. add usbdevs | grep command to the attach

Hotplugd and usbdevs were the right tools for this job.
For the archives here's how the dynamically updating symlink can be
done for USB device: printers fall into class 0 (generic) and with the
second parameter to the hotplugd's attach script one is able to get the
device's name and model by using usbdevs -d.
Thanks for all who responded.
