[STR Closed w/Resolution]

Mike, can you also change the build system so that the libusb-based "usb"
backend will get built by default?

The libusb-based backend has once more functionality, especially bi-di
works with all printers, without any manufacturer-wise restrictions, and
second, it works also in systems with usblp module present, as it detaches
the module from the printer before communicating and reattaches the module
after finishing the communication. This means that it always "just works".
The usblp-based backend is now only a fallback solution for systems without
libusb.
