4	I don't have a solution for your problem, but a warning for people who
5	rename their printer devices with udev.

7	Starting with the latest stable CUPS, when using "usb:/dev/*" device
8	URIs, the device node must be below "/dev/usb", and must be the real
9	device, not a symlink.

11	In my case, I had renamed my printer device to "/dev/printers/hplj", and
12	CUPS refused to use it. Even a "/dev/usb/lp0" symlink to it didn't help.
13	So I am now stuck with an ugly "usb://HP/LaserJet%201320%20series"
14	device URI, as auto-detected by CUPS.
