Can you run

/usr/lib/cups/filter/usb

in a terminal window and post the output here?

If you have only one printer on USB (the LJ4 with adapter cable) can you try as a workaround to open system-config-printer and choose the option to enter an URI. Enter the URI

parallel:/dev/usb/lp0

the manually choose manufacturer and model of your printer and complete setting up the print queue. Can you print using this new print queue?
