Sys-fs/eudev-3.2.8 sets ownership root:usb on USB printer, and CUPS remains unaware of the device. Eudev should set root:lp to enable CUPS to use it.

# lsusb
[...]
Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0482:000e Kyocera Corp. FS-1020D Printer
[...]
# ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/008
crw-rw---- 1 root usb 189, 263 May 27 10:45 /dev/bus/usb/003/008
# chown root:lp /dev/bus/usb/003/008

After that, CUPS sees the printer and works properly.

I tried adding user lp to group usb and restarting cupsd, but that didn't help.

I think this is fixed with the new hwdb rules.  Can you verify.

Sorry, but my USB printer has died and been replaced with a network-connected printer. I'm afraid I can't help.
