In 8.x, CUPS 1.4.x wants libusb support and the ugen driver, rather than 
ulpt. Once I changed over to that, all was fine.

It's a mite irritating that device permissions can't be tied down easily 
as they can with ulpt(4), because CUPS needs to see the /dev/usb/* 
device nodes. On my print server, I just have devfs rules for the new 
device nodes.

P.S. uscanner has also gone away. I use a multi-function device (Epson 
CX3650). The sane-backends can also use libusb now.

cheers,
BMS
