[STR New]
Some devices are given different device URIs in 1.4rc1 from the ones they
were assigned in CUPS 1.3.10. For example:
usb://Lexmark/Lexmark%20E120 (1.4rc1)
usb://Lexmark/E120 (1.3.10)
Is this intentional? If so, the usb backend (for instance) ought to
continue to accept the older-style device URIs.
The particular change that gave rise to this difference is subversion
revision 7584.
Original bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507244
(showing that the correct device URI is now
'usb://Lexmark/Lexmark%20E120')
Other supporting evidence:

(showing that the correct device URI was once 'usb://Lexmark/E120')
