Old Canon printer LBP-350 and a modern Linux box

I own a quite old laser printer, Canon LBP-350 sold in Japanese market. It has both Centronics parallel port and USB port. I used to connect it and my Linux desktop machine with the parallel port, but my current main Linux box does not have parallel port. So, I once tried to connect the laser printer with the current main box using USB, but it didn't work. Today, I tried again , but it didn't. I checked how the Linux box was seeing the printer over USB bus using lsusb command as follows:

# lsusb -t
/:  Bus 07.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci-pci/2p, 12M
/:  Bus 06.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci-pci/3p, 12M

    |__ Port 3: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=uas, 480M

    |__ Port 14: Dev 3, If 1, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M
/:  Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-pci/2p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/8p, 480M
/:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-pci/2p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/6p, 480M

and the output of usb-devices command:

The printer could be seen over the USB bus, but when I send a test page print request with CUPS, it did not make an action. I guess it's time to say farewell to the printer. Hmm...sad.
