Hi Vitaly,
Openprinting community (which I am a part of the community) plans to have printer applications for printer drivers shipped in Ubuntu implemented during Google Summer of Code [1] by multiple students. foo2zjs is in Ubuntu too, so there's a plan to implement a printer application for it.
However, if you don't want to rely/wait for GSoC results, one student from Google Season of Docs last year created a documentation for implementing printer applications [2][3], so you can learn more about how a printer application works and you're welcome to join our OpenPrinting community and help us implementing the foo2zjs printer application.

If your printer is network printer released approx. 2010 and later or USB printer released approx. 2015 and later (tips how to find out if your device supports driverless printing here [4]), you don't even need to install your printer anymore, not mention using a printer driver (or future printer applications).
What about "win-printers" like HP LajerJet P1102w?
Currently I maintain and use foo2zjs to use them without the proprietary "plugins" from hplip.
