Have a look at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=264219#c1

Alternatively it might work to misuse the "parallel" backend
when you specify its device URI as parallel:/dev/usbp0
depending on to which extent parallel port communication
works even via an USB-to-parallel-port-converter.

Alternatively use a self-made backend as described in
