Backend not detects USB printer

[shermin]

Hi,
lsusb "lists" my printer.But I am not getting any directory /dev/usb after my printer is connected.I think USB backend is checking that directory in the code.Also /proc/lib/cups/backend is "not"returning anything.So i am confused where is the problem???
