Thanks - If I execute the cups usb backend, I get this:

direct usb://HP/OfficeJet%20K80?serial=ES0911401VOH "HP OfficeJet 
K80" "HP OfficeJet K80 USB #1" "MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:OfficeJet 
K80;CMD:MLC,PCL,PML;CLASS:PRINTER;DESCRIPTION:Hewlett-Packard 
OfficeJet K 
Series;1284.3M:f7f,f7f;1284.4DL:4d,4e,1;SERN:ES0911401VOH;VSTATUS:$HB0$NC0,ff,DN,IDLE,CUT,K0,C0,SM,NR,KP051,CP031;AiO:0;DW-PCL;"

 From which I presume I need to use the following uri:

uri = usb://HP/OfficeJet%20K80?serial=ES0911401VOH

Is this correct?

By "USB printer driver", do you mean the printer.o module (which is 
loaded on my system)?
