Maybe you need to compile kernel with usb printer gadget. Other is just
matter of applications.

I don't know how you build your kernel. In case you are using buildroot,
just enable printing support (make linux26-menuconfig -> Device Driver ->
USB Support -> USB Printer support ). The printer driver is usblp.

If you want more (spooler, web interface, etc), you can look for CUPS.

Good luck
