I would just ask the status with a control message with libusb or
usbfs. I do not think I have ever seen a printer that threw a tantrum
due to controls overlapping, so it should be completely safe to do
at any time, even if the printer is printing. The control endpoint
is shareable by definition, so you should be able to request the
status even while usblp is bound to an interface.
