Do I also insmod lp.o

Only if you want to use a parallel printer. Otherwise, no.

or is printer.o a substitute?

It is the standard USB printer driver.

Could someone with a working USB printer try this?

Mine does not support plain text.

Images can be printed with netpbm's pbmtolj, etc. .

netpbm is compatible with fewer printers than ghostscript, so this
will only work with a few printers. Also, printing plain text (e.g.
with wp) is not supported by all printers.
