I admit that WMI is not my strong suit, but using the WMI object browser
on my machine, I find that Win32_SystemDevices contains a key called
Win32_USBHub which contains DeviceID entries for all of the USB devices
on my computer.  I have never attempted it, but I suspect that's all the
OP would need.

And actually, since I *think* he said he was working with a printer, he
may be able to look at the Win32_Printer collection instead.
