If you're using Ubuntu-provided packages, you should start asking Ubuntu.

You might also want to try building Gutenprint 5.3.3 from source to see if the printer works with
that, and if it doesn't whether it does with 5.3.1.  Instructions for building from source code are
in the README file included with the package, which may be downloaded from
https://gimp-print.sourceforge.net.  Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance building it.
