You need to specify the correct driver in Linux too! Take a look at

http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi

and search your printer in the database.

It will also provide you with the recommended drivers and some suggestions
for best performance. Install your new driver (CUPS one) and reinstall
the whole printer from http://localhost:631 and taking note of your new
driver which should appear from the list after installation.
