lpr(1)-ing multiple files with 1.2.5

[Igor Bujna]

Hello,
problem is where this port is blocked in version 1.2.2 and newer how its write in CHANGES.txt:
    - The USB backend now reports a "no such device" error
      when using the old filename-based USB URIs instead of
      the "success" error.

I think it's no good idea because every documentation where is installing usb printer in cups is this "DeviceURI usb:/dev/usb/lp0".
Or if i have raw printing to usbprinter and i everyday change printer model on usb i will must put this new printer to cups but i won't this.
I make this patch to downgrade this problem from older version....
