That depends on how you had things setup before, but the default
setup of CUPS 1.2 runs the USB backend as "lp.lp" instead of
"root.sys".  You can do:

     chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb

to make the USB backend run as root, but the preferred solution is
to use:

     chmod 660 /dev/usb/lp0
     chown root.lp /dev/usb/lp0

when setting up the device files.
