May be, Till. I've got an HP DeskJet 710C for parallel port connected to USB via the Prolific adapter (067b:2305 - the same you mentioned earlier). It is visible - output of the mentioned commands is principally the same as on the computer on which the printer works. In other words, lsusb detects the prolific adapter and when running the second command, the only difference when I connect the printer is that one row is added, that has the group column value 'lp' instead of 'root' and the current time.
