Wildcard for all of HP?!

I disabled everything, and the result when doing the Fn+something is
like shown below. This means that at least the entries for 81, 89, 92,
97 and ee are already correct via wildcard. The other wildcards may not
hurt.

However b7 and 1d should be handled somehow. Not sure what the correct
entries for this model would be to handle print and interrupt (Its
labeled Untbr in german) keys. Right now both send wrong keys. Not sure
what sysrq is supposed to do anyway, at least GNOME does a screenshot.
