I've never seen or used pam_usb, but since PAM support has been in
CUPS for several years and has not has any such reports of problems,
I would suspect that pam_usb is the cause.

Of course, if you can compile CUPS with debug (./configure
--enable-debug; make) and the run scheduler/cupsd from gdb with
"run -f", you might be able to report where the failure is occurring.
