That is the cups config interface, and is the preferred method of
configuration.

in relation to your problem with the usb connection, try this.
1. disconnect the usb cable to the printer.
2. reboot the system (may not be necessary, but will be good insurance)
3. reconnect the printer
4. try printing.

If something causes the usb connection to get a different bus address it
will break the connection until the device is rescanned and reconfigured
by hal/udev/hotplug manager.  This may be your entire issue.
