To clarify: my problem was that I have a Canon LBP3010 printer which
doesn't appear to be supported by Cups. It works with the Canon CAPT
drivers: cndrvcups-{capt,common} from a PPA , which appear to require
the kernel usblp module. As I understand it, the usblp module is now
deprecated under Cups. Presumably this means that the Canon packages
need updating to use libusb instead? I'm not really sure why separate
Canon PPA packages are necessary in the first place, as some Canon
printers are supported by Cups without these packages (does Cups have
its own implementation of CAPT?). The integration between Cups and these
CAPT drivers does not seem very smooth...
