You have downloaded & installed i386 binary driver & support programs, which 
won't work with the ARM processor.  To use the printer with an ARM processor, 
you must either build the drivers and daemons from source, or ask the vendor to 
supply the appropriate ARM binaries. 

Additionally, it looks like there is a firmware file that needs to be loaded 
into the printer, but that is a much smaller problem than i386 binary drivers.

In short, ask the vendor to open-source his drivers.
