In Jan 2010 I bought a generic parallel USB adapter from ebay for $3.29
(inc shipping) and used it on CentOS 5 with my old old laser printer.
It just worked.
lsusb identified it as
ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port
Hmm, ebay description was "USB TO PARALLEL PRINTER ADAPTER 1284 CABLE 36
PIN IEEE".
Yeah, this looks like the same model
