This same UPS?

It looks like Ubuntu 14.04 has NUT 2.7.1, so the nutdrv_qx driver is available. 
It is a replacement for the blazer_* drivers, and should be a superset of the 
blazer_usb functionality. I would recommend switching, as there shouldn't be 
many changes necessary:

It also looks like the Ubuntu 14.04 package still is affected by a udev-related 
bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nut/+bug/1099947/comments/4 If 
you rename the 52-nut-usbups.rules file to 62-nut-usbups.rules as indicated in 
that URL, and unplug and re-plug in the USB cable (or run "udevadm trigger -- 
subsystem-match=usb"), subsequent driver runs should find the USB device.
