This fixes many of the "missing driver" issues by marking more drivers obsolete and delivering data for generating PPDs only if the driver package does not deliver it (this will for example make the "ptouch" driver disappear in the printer setup tools until it gets actually included in the distro (or will be available for auto-download from the OpenPrinting web site). But this does not fix all these issues, as there are many drivers which are not in Ubuntu but their Foomatic data is delivered by foomatic-db.

Get the new package here to try it out:
