usb backend does not work with cups-1.4.2

compiling cups-1.4.2 with configure switches:

--prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc --localstatedir=/var --without-languages --with-cups-user=tc --with-cups-group=staff --with-fontpath=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts --with-dbusdir=/usr/local/etc/dbus-1

I get:
$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 03f0:0711 Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet K80

$ sudo /usr/local/lib/cups/backend/usb
DEBUG: list_devices
DEBUG: usb_find_busses=5
DEBUG: usb_find_devices=11

$ sudo /usr/local/lib/cups/backend/hp
direct hp:/usb/OfficeJet_K80?serial=ES0911401VOH "HP OfficeJet K80" "HP OfficeJet K80 USB ES0911401VOH HPLIP" "MFG:Hewlett-Packa;MDL:OfficeJet K80;CLS:PRINTER;DES:OfficeJet K80;SN:ES0911401VOH;"

I believe the usb backend is expecting the usb device to be owned by group "lp", whereas it is owned by group "staff" on my machine - does the usb backend take note of the "--with-cups-group=staff" switch?
