USB Printer

I'm attempting to configure a USB printer. Is it correct that the Add Printer dialog should have USB as a Local Printers option? I ask because although the printer is on and connected, the dmesg output when the printer is connected shows usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Belk USB Printing Support, which is correct, as there's a parallel-to-usb converter on the line. Now the usblp driver is started, so I'm assuming that the kernel figures out that there's a printer there, but CUPS does not.

So if my assumption that CUPS should give a USB option, is there any was to encourage it to do so?

Thanks.
