Ubuntu cannot support this printer because the printer manufacturer does not
provide a Linux driver for your specific printer model, therefore we are
closing this bug as Invalid while actually it is something Ubuntu can't fix.
Please ask your printer manufacturer for a Linux driver!
Furthermore if you want your printer driver to be installed automatically in
future versions of Ubuntu you should also ask the manufacturer to provide a
distribution independent driver package as described here:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/WritingAndPackagingPrinterDrivers,
so automatic download of the printer driver becomes possible as already
implemented by this specification:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/printerdriverautodownload since
Ubuntu Intrepid.
