"/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb failed" After Kernel Upgrade

ShadowKyogre · 2009-10-28 01:02:55

When I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.31.5-1 from 2.6.31.4-1 and tried printing a file, I got this error from cups:

"/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb failed"

The printer was working perfectly fine yesterday.

Upgrade I did today before rebooting my pc to use the new kernel:

I downgraded the kernel and the printer works again and I forgot to mention I had usblp blacklisted both before and after I upgraded.
