See

Instead of editing /etc/cups/printers.conf directly, better
use "lpadmin -v file:/dev/usb/lp0" to set the DeviceURI
because the latter can be done while cupsd is running.


I would be interested in the "lsusb -v -s <bus>:<device>"
output for this device.
Please only the output for this device e.g. "lsusb -v -s 001:002"
according to your above "lsusb" output.
