Usbserial 37173 1 pl2303. In my case, my USB-to-serial converter is a Prolific PL2303.

Firstly, although under Windows, when I run the driver install the software installs a Prolific PL-2303 USB-to-Serial driver, it doesn't get identified as such under Linux Mint. Lsusb does not detect it being plugged in at all.

I am not saying this is the problem, but I would try a more recent version to determine if this bug got fixed sometime in the past three years (that is the age of the version you are using). Unfortunately I am not aware of an easy way to upgrade it. There are some instructions and reasons why it is not updated in.
