usb:/dev/usb/* style is obsolete since version 1.2. New device URI
should be like usb://HP/Desingjet500.
I'm sorry but there isn't an automatic path to migrate from old 1.1
style, please modify a printer URI via Web interface by hand.
Because this is Debian-specific question rather than CUPS's,
it's better to use Debian bug tracking system if you'd like to
continue this issue.
