In the print manager you can select the printer tool - escputil and it fails to 
connect providing an error message instead. Changing the printer device uri 
to /dev/usr/lp0 lets it work but confuses other things.

CUPS doesn't use the actual USB port in the printer device URI, but a pseudo-URI 
based on information obtained by polling the USB port (manufacturer and model). 
This port<->device mapping is currently not supported by escputil or kdeprint. 
The only workaround is to use a device URI like usb:/dev/usb/lp0 instead of 
the URI proposed by the wizard (coming from CUPS) when creating the printer.
