nvsoar, to use the new backend, remove your print queue and after that turn off and turn on your printer and when connecting it to the computer, connect the cable to the partallel port of the printer at first and afterwards connec the USB plug to the computer. Then a new print queue should get set up automatically. If not, run the following commands in a terminal window, with the printer still connected and turned on:

lsusb
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/*/*
ls -l /dev/usb/lp*
sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
ldd /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb | grep usb
lpinfo -v

Post the output of the commands here.
