What I mean is, does your printer report itself as a USB Printer Class
device? If not, the standard Linux USB printer driver *will not*
support it and you'll need to develop a custom backend (probably using
libusb) that talks to it.

That says nothing - if you have a vendor-supplied Windows driver, it
can (and often does) provide its own USB driver.
