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...
