Bug Description
Cups is unable to define a USB printer. When you click on System Settings->Printer Configuration then click on New Printer followed by New Network Printer you see a nice connection list. It shows your LPT1, your serial ports, then gives you a lot of network type printing options.
There is no search done for USB.
Clicking on "other" simply throws up a URL entry line which requires an operating system expert to manually enter.

The Web interface doesn't show any USB printers either.
