Public bug reported:
Probably not actually cups, but I figured a report to cups would include
the correct info.
On 10.10, and 11.04 I had a working printer setup using a USB to parallel cable.
After upgrading to 11.10 /dev/usb/lp0 is missing, and there is no device that
looks like a parallel port anywhere in /dev
I have two USB to parallel port cables, Both show up in lsusb:

but neither create a device in /dev
The Prolific Technology cable was the one that had been working in 11.04
and is not working now.
