Done (even with the variation of 0660 vs. 0770 as suggested
in that file):

	[system=10]
	add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
	add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
	add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups
	add path 'usb/4.2.*' mode 0660 group cups
	add path 'usb*' mode 0770 group cups

Same result == no result. :-)
