I understand CUPS provides not enough messages. It has to be improved
more in the future.
Well, let's think about /dev/usb/lp0 permission problem at this time.
As far as I know CUPS backend will run as ownership root:root or lp:lp.
USB backend will run as lp:lp, so it should be able to access
/dev/usb/lp0.
If your machine is i386 architecture, could you replace /usr/lib/cups/
backend/usb by http://kmuto.jp/tmp/usb-debug.tar.gz ?
After then, try to print something to your USB printer.
You'll see the result of ownership check at /tmp/o2 file.
Please send it to us.
Thanks,
