It's in sight but we're not there yet.  Next step is to separate out the
CUPS parts into a D-Bus system service. :-)  I'm working on code to do
that so we have these methods:

UsbPrinterAdd (string devpath, string deviceid)
UsbPrinterRemove (string devpath)

where devpath is the usb_device devpath.

Then the udev rules simply call these methods, which immediately return
and perform processing in the background -- with locking, as before, of
course.

In the future this service could be used to add queues (including
selecting an appropriate driver) for bluetooth printers, network
printers, you name it.

Oops, thanks.  Applied.
