CUPS printing problem with USB

I celebrated earlier this week having finally connected Open Office and 
Mozilla to CUPS through KPrinter so that I could actually print things 
from the applications that I use constantly.  All of a sudden (without 
changing anything that I'm aware of), CUPS can't open my USB device.

Here is what I see in the CUPS web interface 
(http://spidey.buzgate.org:631/printers/spideyPrinter)
Description: hp DeskJet 5550
Location: Greg's Desk
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
/"Unable to open USB device 
"usb://hp/deskjet%205550?serial=MY29P1N4G32L": No such device"/
Device URI: usb://hp/deskjet%205550?serial=MY29P1N4G32L

I've restarted CUPS, no love.

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

seems to show (not implying that I can decipher this output) that there 
is the proper device:

Anyone have insight into this problem?
