Try to use strace while printing test page:

1. Print test page.
2. "ps -e" and find the pid with CMD called "usb".
3. "strace -p pid" and wait.
4. After 30 seconds, some "open(....)" calls will appear. Check the return value.

I have similar experience before, and the value returned for my printer is EACCES.
CUPS really need some work on errors.
