I forgot to mention that I tried to use the driverless ppd generator utility program (as detailed in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/man1/driverless.1.html) in order to generate an appropriate ppd file. However, the program is not available in Ubuntu 16.04 as it's part of the cups-filters-core-drivers version 1.13.0-2 package. The version in Ubuntu 16.04 is version 1.8.3-2 which does not contain the driverless program.
