I'm using the same driver on my x86(_64) machines and would like to use
the printer on an arm based box as well.

I've also experienced various issues and problems with their driver.

Also note that their license is unclear to me. You have to agree to the
GPL (among other licenses), but yet they don't ship all of the source code.

Thus, UFR II should clearly be considered a binary driver.
