Had a similar problem with my Epson Stylus Color 777 on Mandrake 9.0 and Mandrake 9.1. I had to uninstall and reinstall cups and it's libraries, then reinstall the printer through harddrake.
I already asked the question about this problem, but I didn't get any answer, so this is the only workaround I found to work. I had to do those steps about once a week. To uninstall cups, type urpme cups in a console, as root. It will complain about dependencies, uninstall them too. Next step is to reinstall cups with the following command: urpmi cups (still as root in a console). It will install its dependencies too. I hope there is a better way to solve this annoying problem, if so, I'd be happy to learn it...

Up until a few days ago everything worked fine. Now I can't print at all. Done all the obvious things - made sure everything is plugged in, changed both ink cartridges, made sure it has paper. The printer does not show on the list of hardware detected by Harddrake, so I deleted it and added it as a new printer. It is recognised by OpenOffice, but nothing prints, and it still doesn't show up on the Harddrake list. What should I try next? Margot
