Epson driver just does not work. I tried Ubuntu 14.04 with all available
drivers, i always got filter error. If you try to call the filter from
bash it says: "no such file or directory". I compiled the filter myself,
then a cammand line call gave me  "insufficient options" which looked
promising, but the filter did not work. Unfortunately there is zero
documentation for the filter, so i could not get it to spit out a log,
althoug the source code has some debugging code.  Openprinting.org gives
information that is just a lie. This printer driver does not work. As
last resort i chose "turboprint", a 30 EUR software which is not GPL but
at least worked perfectly from the beginning. Even printing PDF files on
a DVD surface on an Epson XP-750 works perfectly. I am running
turboprint on a dedicated print server on Ubuntu 14.04 without X, this
works perfectly, not the driver provided by epson.
