I'm not 100% sure about this ... but I think there are actually TWO drivers involved in hooking up a printer.

There's the driver for the printer itself, which _should_ be connection independent.

There's also the driver for the connection, which should be printer independent.

If you can get a driver for the printer, that works over a normal parallel port, then hooking it up to a USB adapter (which would use its own driver to connect), should work fine.
