I am not reporting this as bug in Debian's package for obvious reasons.
A Mint OS user reports getting
Error: libusb init failed with error: LIBUSB_ERROR_OTHER
with either of the commands 'ippusbxd' or 'sudo ippusbxd'.

That's it really. Is this a misconfiguration or a bug?
I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 and when I run ippusbxd (with or without
"sudo" does not matter) it works normally. ippusbxd daemonizes and the
"driverless" command lists the printer. cups-browsed sets it up
automatically. I am using Ubuntu Cosmic currently, but it worked also on
Bionic and Artful.
The Chrome OS developers tested ippusbxd also on other, non-HP printers
(Canon, but not Epson) and it works for them. They did a lot of
contributions.
The problem can either be an incompatibility with the Epson printer or
some library problem in Mint. libusb version on my Ubuntu is 1.0.22
currently (see below).
Please test also starting libusb with other printers or with no printer
at all. Does the error then occur, too?
