Comment 24 for bug 1258919

As a workaround you can try the following setup (kernel module "usblp" must be loaded, check with "lsmod"):

lpadmin -p test -E -v parallel:/dev/usb/lp0 -P /etc/cups/ppd/DESKJET-710C.ppd

Try to print on this new print queue named "test". Does it work?

Another workaround is to connect your printer to a router or NAS with print server functionality. Most devices which have a USB or parallel port have this functionality, check the configuration web interface of your device. After that set up your printer as network printer with the IP/hostname of your router/NAS.

Please try both workarounds and tell what works for you.
