I suspect that in your usb subsystem you've enabled something as a
module and everything that depends on that can only be enabled as a
module. CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y works for me. I don't understand the note
in the book. If the cups usb backend causes problems it seems to me that
the correct response is to configure cups with --disable-libusb
