That's a good thing. It means the system recognizes it as a USB
printer, and the data will be delivered to it.

Could it be a WinPrinter? That means you can't send it ASCII text and
have it print, but have to render the text as a page of graphics in
the language understood by the printer, and send that to it
instead. If so, the only real hope is that there is a driver for it
for ghostscript. If you search the archives for this list, there are
pointers to a web page that lists WinPrinters, and their status.
