I did not see another reply to this very old message.

I encountered the same thing when I installed a new USB Epson Stylus 
printer.  I had to delete the HAL created printer as this is broken and 
recreated the printer using the System Settings -> Printing which is a 
panel link to /usr/bin/printconf-gui.  After deleting the HAL created 
print queue and created a new queue for the printer.

Good luck with your Epson printer.
