OK, done.

Following which I power cycled the printer and rebooted the server. No
change.

find /dev/ -name usblp0 -exec ls -l {} \;

I'd still like to see the output of the above command just to be sure.

[...]
snoopy>/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
direct usb://Brother/HL-5040%20series "Brother HL-5040 series" "Brother
HL-5040 series USB #1" "MFG:Brother;CMD:PJL,PCL,PCLXL;MDL:HL-5040
series;CLS:PRINTER;"
So far, so good. Now let's see how the printer is defined for CUPS. Post
the output of
grep DeviceURI /etc/cups/printers.conf

DeviceURI usb://Brother/HL-5040%20series

Looks identical to the /dev name to me.

Most USB DeviceURIs that I find on the web have "?serial=..." appended
after the <model> string. Maybe the problem is that in your case no
serial number is found by the USB backend of CUPS. (I am speculating
here; I never used CUPS with a USB printer.)

You could try:

DeviceURI usb:/dev/...

or

DeviceURI USB #1

instead. (Replace "..." with the exact path to the device node. Run
"invoke-rc.d cupsys restart" or "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart" after
editing printers.conf.)
