Sorry for the delayed answer. I tried this and indeed, the NAS booted:
[ 24.418570] usb-storage: device found at 3

After this, I could even turn the printer on and off without Debian
crashing / freezing.
The only other thing I changed since my last try is that I removed
CUPS. I will report back here as soon as I had the time to try it a
few more times, hopefully with a little bit of printing. Maybe the two
times that I experienced the freezing were really only bad luck when
connecting the cable while printer and NAS were running?

Does it work if you plug both devices in while it's powered off and
then power it on?
