Currently this does nothing - it came from the usblp kernel driver.

Sorry, too much happening at the moment and I forgot that the USB quirks stuff is part of 1.6.4, not 1.6.3.  1.6.4 will be coming out "soon".

Solomon,

The necessary changes are part of CUPS 1.6.3 and 1.7rc1 that were released on the 11th.

(the GIT mirror is still experiencing technical difficulties and I need to pull it until it starts updating properly...)

The purpose of these patches is to allow third-party drivers (Gutenprint, others) that provide their own backends to blacklist the USB printers they support, or for those drivers to identify the specific quirks those printers need to work with the standard USB backend.
