(That allows use of parallel port too.)

I will leave this others to address as i have not used the printer
via USB at all.  Currently it is being used over ethernet through a
SMC router connected via parallel port.  I did not encounter any
problems when it was directly connected to any of the 2-3 computer
systems.

Could it be a incorrect printcap?  What kind of data (PS, PDF, plain
text), and how, are you trying to print?
