Another thing worth trying is the following:

cancel -a
sudo chown root.root /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb

Now try again to print through a queue which uses the "usb" backend
(with "usb://..." URI). Does it work now?

The above commands make the "usb" CUPS backend always be executed as
root. This overcomes any permission problem.

You get back into the original state via

sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
