been there, tried that.  I've tried all of the epsons, with same 
result.  It
looks like an error in foomatic debian package ( ppd isn't generated).

interestingly, there is a driver in type 'ESP' that outputs to the printer
in 300dpi, but only garbage is printered out.

If somebody already has a ppd file, I can try that.  Maybe somebody can
generate one on 5.04 and send it to me.
