I've managed to get the libusb backend from the upcoming CUPS
1.4 compiling and (for me at least) working, and it is possible to use
this with CUPS v1.3.9 :)
There are some brief instructions in readme.os2.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone that has a USB printer - even
if they're happily printing via lpd to that USB printer currently.
This should make things much easier for newbies :)
