Finally : gosh, I am stupid ! I was searching the quirks file for the Deskjet 710C ! of course there is an entry for the PL2305 chip !

Now, I ran various tests as you requested : I did not try "blacklist" nor "usb-init" (I don't have any vendor string) nor "vendor-class" (I am not sure I understand what this means) nor "whitelist". I list below the various tests I ran : in short : the result is, sadly, always the same, as if the line for the PL2305 chip was not taken into account at all.

What can we do now ?

Tests and their results:
