On the adaptor is written that it is a Parallel Printer connector, the type with a very wide mouth which is hooked to the printer with two wire clamps. Tried already to manually set the printer up with cups with the same type of silence. Does not seem to have anything with which it to set the mode of the cable.
Run (as root) 'lsmod' and check you have the parallel port kernel module loaded. I think it is 'parport_pc'.
If you don't have the module there won't be the /dev/lp[0-3]
And there shouldn't be as it is USB. Therefore it should be /dev/usblp[0-?] that would be the connection to the printer.
and you should also have an entry in /etc/cups/printers.conf that reads something like
DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0
Unless you BOTH have the parallel port driver AND CUPS knows where to look, its not going to be able to talk to the printer.
