What you have ther might not even be a USB to Parrallel converter, it might just provide a USB to processor link right to the Printer CPU. You would have to play with it to workout whether you can get anything out of the Centronics connector.. which personally I doubt.
Let us know how your testing goes.
You are right...the adapter gives USB printer support, but does not act as a second serial nor printer port...
The chip in charge of doing the interface is an Agere Uss720, which I plan to use, maybe without plug and play circuitry of the adapter, but only the single chip.
But I don´t know much about driver programing; and I will need something like that...
The other idea is to use the agere chip to interface temperature sensors, but that´s another story...
