Marcia,
Don't know if this will help or if it has been suggested before. Have you
tried setting up your printer through kups (note the "k" - it's on the first
CD if you didn't install it) this gives you the
options for selecting your printer queue, make & model, ghostscript etc. I
see that there are a number of Epson stylus printers listed there but I
don't remember which model your's is.
