Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

Feisty stumbles on USB printer node permissons.  I'm not sure what the
root cause is.

Original permissions:  crw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 180, 0 2007-01-19 02:44
/dev/usblp0

But I can't print due to continual "Printer not connected; will retry in
30 seconds."  lpinfo -v doesn't list the printers and, if I try removing
and adding them, cups doesn't detect them.

chmod a+rw /dev/usblp0 fixes the problem and printing is restored.

This happens for both my Epson C80 inkjet and Samsung ML-2510 laser.
Printing worked 100% in Edgy so I'm confident it's not a hardware issue.
I dist-upgraded to Feisty.
