The source of the issue seems to be CUPS which is more than just Ubuntu.

Guess Ubuntu isn't the magic bullet people claim it to be? :P

That still sucks! Maybe other distros have that support still?

    Today's gripe is that Ubuntu 18.04 / CUPS (and others I am quite
    sure) [
    has | have ] dropped support for a Generid Printer, Raw Queue.  This
    means that the dot matrix printer (remember them?) that I use to print
    two part checks does not play nice in Ubuntu 18.04.  Still does in
    16.04.

    I'm looking at a GitHub entry dated March 19, 2018 where said
    removal is
    discussed in the Apple/CUPS dominion.  "Almost every printer
    manufactured since 2010 supports IPP/2.0 with standard file formats.

    Progress is not always kind.
