It looks like CUPS now uses libusb to access USB printers. I guess that means it no longer uses devices like /dev/ulptx, but instead (on 8.0, at least) /dev/usb/x.x.x. (I don't know about 7 stable, which I assume still has the old USB stack?) CUPS still needs permission to access the device, but now it has to be specified in a different place.
