That's what I've already done, except for udev I have all the packages 
installed already. CUPS printing works with another printer attached to 
the serial port.

lsusb doesn't list any external device, just

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

From what you wrote I got the understanding that the KDE Printer Wizard 
would have found the printer if the device had been there. Is that 
correct?
