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 won't fix 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.
