Its just one file,  if you download the usbpatch is tells you which
file. You could save the file first:
      in Finder >> Go To Folder   and enter /usr/libexec/cups/backend
      You'll see a file called usb, you can copy/drag it to a safe place.

Then in the usbpatch you can install the jaguar file (the script does it
you just need to enter you password, note: there's no echo as you type).

This file is only used for printer drivers built on the new print
system --
QTR is the only one I am aware of -- I'm sure the Epson drivers don't
use it.
It's not a per identity file so different idents won't help.   I've
been using
this patch for my systems since panther came out.
