/dev/usb/lp0 is not needed any more for printing in Oneiric (11.10). The USB CUPS backend uses libusb and not the usblp kernel module any more.
Your USB->Parallel cable together with a parallel printer should behave like a USB printer for Ubuntu. You need to have the cable and the printer connected for that. Probably you need to connect the cable to the printer at first and after that the USB end of the cable to the computer. Then CUPS should recognize a USB printer. Depending on the cable which you are using CUIPS recognizes also the printer model, but at least you should get an entry in your printer setup tool which you can select and if needed you choose the printer model and driver manually. If this does not work, please connect the adapter cable to your printer, turn the printer on and then connect the USB plug of your cable to the computer. After that follow the instructions in the section "USB printer" of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems.
