Ok, lets try to figure out the:

in sys/dev/usb/serial/ulpt.c try to comment out:

#if 0
         if (sc->sc_fflags == 0)
                 usbd_transfer_start(sc->sc_xfer[ULPT_INTR_DT_RD]);
#endif

In function:

static void
ulpt_watchdog(void *arg)
{
         struct ulpt_softc *sc = arg;

         mtx_assert(&sc->sc_mtx, MA_OWNED);

         /*
          * Only read status while the device is not opened, due to
          * possible hardware or firmware bug in some printers.
          */
         if (sc->sc_fflags == 0)
                 usbd_transfer_start(sc->sc_xfer[ULPT_INTR_DT_RD]);

         usb_callout_reset(&sc->sc_watchdog,
             hz, &ulpt_watchdog, sc);
}
