OK, it is now working. But I don't know why. I rebooted the 6.2 system (kept on separate partitions) and verified everything worked, and when I rebooted 7.3 it started working.
LPRng DOES support usb. The mysterious "ignoring set_interface..." message has gone. I can only assume it was due to recompiling the kernel. I remember adding the sound card and removing an ether device but can't remember any other changes, but I am getting old...
