You probably shouldn't waste your time reading that docuement. Try loading the printer module by hand. You can also try running "depmod -a" which should update the modules.usbmap file to include information from the printer module. Here is the contents of mine for printer;
[antonia] ~ > grep printer /lib/modules/2.4.19/modules.usbmap printer 0x0070 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x07 0x01 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 printer 0x0070 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x07 0x01 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 printer 0x0070 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x07 0x01 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 printer 0x0380 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x07 0x01 0x01 0x00000000 printer 0x0380 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x07 0x01 0x02 0x00000000 printer 0x0380 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x07 0x01 0x03 0x00000000 (the printer is the start of each line, incase the mailer breaks the lines up incorrectly).
