debian/patches/rootbackends-worldreadable.dpatch allowed backends to be installed as 0744 and still being run as root, which doesn't violate the Debian/Ubuntu policy as much as installing them as 0700. However, this apparently broke cups-deviced which seems to only recognize 0700 or 0755 backends.
As a workaround you should chmod ipp and http to 0700. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: cups Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release: 8.10 For some reason absence of executable bit on http, ipp and lpd make these entries be inaccessible in web interface and ubuntu printing configuration tool which makes it impossible to add IPP printer. After adjusting permissions to be 0755 for all backends IPP printing is accessible again.
