I don't know, depends on the distro, because the distro companies add a
lot of stuff to the kernel. If you use Mandrake 7.2 USB printing is
fully supported.

If it does not print, you have probably done something wrong in the
setup. Use printerdrake or printtool in Mandrake 7.1 and use
printerdrake or kups in Mandrake 7.2. Mandrake 7.2 has many more drivers
which give a better output quality.

In Mandrake 7.2 it does not matter, in older distros parallel is easier
to set up.
