I d/l gutenprint, and that has a driver for this printer. I have a more serious problem, it appears: no matter what position I move the lever on the back right, and hold in the paper feed, no paper feeds, and so it doesn't print its firmware self-test page.... Can't see anything jamming it.

Many printers have a built-in test page that will print if you hold button X on the printer down for Y seconds. You can usually print a test page even if the printer isn't attached to a computer.

If that's not happening, then the printer has hardware (mechanical) problems.
