Do tell - do you mean that as cups 1.4 ? If so, it's probably another instance of misconfiguration caused by cups changes in handling usb.
1.3.11 and 1.4.2
As for cups 1.4, it probably usb changes, as for 1.3 ...no idea.
In my case after I upgraded to cups-1.3.11 on Nov 24th, none of my windows machines are able to print (over IPP, not samba) over network to a HP Deskjet 990 attached to parallel port on a Gentoo server running CUPS. My config file remains the same working one as was pre 1.3.11. What do I know 1) Printing from the server itself works fine 2) Windows machines report error from the server 3) There is network communication. Setting log level to debug produces no obvious errors, just nothing happens. When the job is submitted on client side, I get on server side D [23/Dec/2009:23:24:42 -0700] cupsdAcceptClient: 11 from 192.168.1.105:631 (IP v4) D [23/Dec/2009:23:24:42 -0700] cupsdReadClient: 11 POST /printers/hpdeskjet HTT P/1.1 D [23/Dec/2009:23:24:42 -0700] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

Unfortunately, I cannot downgrade to previous CUPS version since it is not in portage anymore.
With latest cups, the web interface states something like "cannot get printer status" and /var/log/messages contains: Jan 27 12:18:30 localhost kernel: [591877.810927] usb 1-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 With 1.3.10-r2, /var/log/messages contains: Jan 27 13:02:11 localhost kernel: [594498.012029] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 Jan 27 13:02:11 localhost kernel: [594498.133889] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=0007 Jan 27 13:02:11 localhost kernel: [594498.133893] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Jan 27 13:02:11 localhost kernel: [594498.133897] usb 1-1: Product: USB2.0 Printer (Hi-speed) Jan 27 13:02:11 localhost kernel: [594498.133900] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: EPSON Jan 27 13:02:11 localhost kernel: [594498.133903] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 573133303148A4E9E7 Jan 27 13:02:11 localhost kernel: [594498.138302] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0007
Re: Comment #5, the actual message from latest cups web interface is 'Status: Paused - "Unplugged or turned off"'
I've found historical ebuild for cups, installed 1.3.11-r4 and this solved the problem. none of upper versions do work.
OK, 1.4.6 now works here, after I blacklisted usblp and restarted cupsd a couple of times.
