I have a long running machine with a local epson usb printer using the kernel lpusb
Using cups <=1.5.2-r4 I can print ... upgrade to 1.6.2-r* and cups cant see the usb printer. The only errors in the cups log are to do with systemd service files which I masked a couple of days ago - the usb problem was happening before though. I tried both with and without the kernel module and usb use flag with no difference. I cant create a new printer in 1.6.2 because the usb port doesnt show up at all.
