​Tom have you tried this link : ​
http://foo2hiperc.rkkda.com/
​ ? I'm told it works on Ubuntu....

With regard to CUPS, if I don't misremember, those file were automatically
installed on my (64-bit) Linux Mint 17.1, so I'm a tad surprised to hear
that they weren't on Ubuntu 14.04 even if, admittedly, the two distros are
not entirely identical....
