We have worked on the problem of USB->Parallel adapters not providing a
valid device ID and therefore not recognized by CUPS in the recent
months. The upcoming Precise (12.04, due end of April) and Oneiric with
my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa)  contain
this work. You should try them at least as live boot (Precise as daily
live CD or end of next week as beta1).

Quick workaround for your system:

Try to add a line

usblp

to your /etc/modules file. This should load the usblp kernel module
(which provides /dev/usb/lp0) on boot.

To test immediately without rebooting, run

sudo modprobe usblp

and try to print.
