Did you try the linux drivers provided by your print manufacturer here:

Following the link below, I downloaded a .ppd file, which is attached.
I now get a "Stopped - Printer configuration error" as the job status
trying to print a test page.

Just installing the ppd won't be enough, you also need to install the binary deb packages.
