I wound up using wget to spider the whole directory then installing all the packages in one great big lump after first upgrading to CUPS 1.3 in Gutsy.
My first attempt to run the /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb failed because I hadn't removed the usblp module. After doing so and rerunning it a familiar line appeared. I then started running multiple copies as root in different terminals simultaneously using watch --interval=0.5 /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb The cycling still happens and periodically it will say INFO: Cannot set USB device configuration ... Ignoring INFO: USB printer is busy; will retry in 5 seconds...
