In the past people have been complaining that ulpt(4) printing was broken with CUPS. Switching to libusb should "fix" this as ulpt support is not really supported anymore by CUPS, all the work is done on the libusb backend. So again, I'd appreciate feedback or if your printer stops working in the future because of that diff, it'll be too late to complain. Thanks. -- Antoine
