Been there, done that, doesn't work.
More specifically, the only option that might allow USB -
Other - will not operate.

Did you also try the CUPS administration page at
<http://localhost:631>? Whan asked for credentials, use your
own login name and password.

If you can't get to your USB port there as well, you could try
first if the communication works at all. Use the command

sudo modprobe usblp

and check if you then have a device "/dev/usblp0". If it is
there, use

sudo su lp -c 'echo -en "\f" >/dev/usblp0'

to test the printer. This command should just eject one page of
paper, which is a good enough indication that the communication
works.
Thanks very much for this. Have forwarded to my friend and
retained a copy for me in case I get a USB printer.
