Folks, here is an update that I got from from the Bug that I also logged on their side:

----------
[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Please contact your Linux distributor for this issue.

CUPS 1.4 includes a new libusb-based USB backend (specifically requested
by the Linux distros) that requires the distributions to update their USB
configuration so that a) they don't have the kernel printer driver
installed and b) the permissions on the USB bus files allows the "lp" user
or "sys" group to read and write them.

Version: 1.4.1
Fix Version: Third-party
------

Looks like Ubuntu Dev team needs to update the USB config. Please any comments on this from Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work guys!
