Matt; You can find a separate driver pack for your printer on this page;

When you open printerdrake and select your printer, you can either
select the one included with CUPS, or install the one above. They are
probably exacly the same, but it never hurts to have it on hand.
From what I saw on the site, your printer is completely supported and
works very well with CUPS, so I doubt youĺl have any problems with
it, but FWIW, this is where youĺl find the drivers.
I have been working through the instructions at linuxprinting.org and
still no success.
I installed the appropriate PPD and checked out everything else I could
find related to CUPS, ESP Ghostscript and Foomatic. Everything seems to
be in the right place with correct permissions but nothing prints.
lpstat says the printer is printing the job but then has a message
"unable to send to printer, no such device." (I'm speaking from memory
from day before yesterday since, I'm on the Win 98 side of my dual-boot
right now. I'm trying to migrate permanently to linux and getting the
printer to work is the most important issue at this point.)
My next step, according the Troubleshooting instructions from
linuxprinting is to turn on the debugging and get more detailed info.
Someone suggested that it is a hardware problem. I have an AMD Athlon
AGP Motherboard and Athlon 1Ghz processor.
Any comments would be appreciated. Later today I hope to have a chance
to work with it again and get some more debugging info which might give
you better insight.

Hmm. Other than the obvious items like making sure your desktop
configuration accepts the printer and is using the correct printing
system (lp versus cups), or checking to make sure that cups is actually
turned on (Doh!), I can´t think of anything else.
