Thanks for your comment.
In fact you're write that's why foomatic-db port should be updated more 
frequently, therefore I've created PR 78397, because now database is over 
a year old and many printer drivers are not included.
I also changed versioning to be the same as used by www.linuxprinting.org.
A modified port can be downloaded from:
