Because they're functionally the same printer.  They're actually using
exactly the same driver.

How did you install 5.2.14?

I'm suspecting you did so from source, but did not have the CUPS
development packages installed, so when you built Gutenprint, it did
not include support for CUPS.

When you run configure, it does some checks and then eventually prints
a message like

================================================================
  Release: gutenprint 5.3.1 generated on 21 Sep 2018

  Features:
    Build CUPS:                                 yes, installing in /usr
	Build CUPS 1.2 enhancements:            yes
	Build CUPS PPD files:                   no
	Generate PS level 3 CUPS PPD files:     yes
	Build genppd statically:                yes
	Build CUPS dyesub USB backend:          yes
...
================================================================

If it does not print "Build CUPS", then you don't have the CUPS
development packages installed.
