There's a bug in the manual page regarding the escape sequences; it's not "\", 
it's "\0".
        $ find /dev/bus/usb/001/001 -printf "\\" | od -Ax -tx1 -tc
        find: warning: unrecognized escape "\"
        000000 5c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
                 \  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
        00000a

correct:
        $ find /dev/bus/usb/001/001 -printf "\\0" | od -Ax -tx1 -tc
        000000 00
                \0
        000001


Here's a patch:
