no that's not true. I have an HP connected via USB and it looks like this:
cat /etc/cups/printers.conf | grep URI
DeviceURI
hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4b8_82c_W57P10707310003510_if1_printer_noserial
DeviceURI
hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4b8_82c_W57P10707310003510_if1_printer_noserial
DeviceURI hp:/usb/Officejet_5600_series?serial=CN58BCF21H04CY
DeviceURI hpfax:/usb/Officejet_5600_series?serial=CN58BCF21H04CY

I have an HP & Epson printer attached via USB.
