my new machine doesn't have a physical connector for a parallel printer

The printer is recognized when it powers up:
ugen0.4: <vendor 0x04f9> at usbus0
ulpt0: <vendor 0x04f9 product 0x0007, class 0/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 4> on
usbus0
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
and it starts warming up when I try to print, but no page is coming out.
After setting hw.usb.debug.ulpt=1, hw.usb.debug.ugen=1, I do a
echo "hallo" > /dev/ulpt0
and get lots of lines starting with the same usbd_transfer_submit shown
below (are these actually related to the printer? I'm guessing they are
mouse events):
openprinting.org says that printer does support plain text, so the first
thing to try would be using the unlpt0 device.
