It is not clear from your message whether you have gotten your USB set up properly. What output do you get to "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" and "cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers"? According the http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html, the usb printer device should be /dev/usb/lp0. Below you indicate you are using /dev/usblp0 as as printer device. Typo? What is the output of "ls -l /dev/usblp0"? What does "lp /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps" print?
