USB to parallel(centronics) problems on Darwin(Mac OS X)


I know I am probably going to be laughed at... but it isn't my machine. I am fixing an elementary school teacher's eMac (she wants it to print to her old HP DeskJet 720c(pre-usb)). She bought the adapter cable i asked her to, however the OS has no config for setting up a printer(only printers that it knows first-hand i guess) and i couldn't find any mac drivers or kernel extensions(.kext) to get the usb cable or printer working... dmesg on Darwin(flavor of BSD i think) is pretty useless only reports info on eth0 and NMI events... lspci is not present and the same for lsusb and i can't load kext's anyway (need root... i don't think the teacher knows the root password) i need info and/or driver locations please... it is a BIG pain
