OK, you'll need to test a non-patched version of CUPS - I would guess
you are running into a Debian-induced bug.

It is impossible to say with the information you've provided.  You

provides some useful information (like "unable to open USB device"
or something similar) which will probably point to a permissions or
packaging problem.
