Don't know if that would work but can give it a try:
a) copy the old /usr/bin/gs to /usr/bin/gs-5.x (or some other name so as
to make sure that the newer version of gs is not overwritten)
b) Do an ldd on this gs-5.x to make sure that necessary lib support is
there on your box. IIRC, gs has about 8 or 10 lib dependencies.
c) direct your "if=" entries in /etc/printcap through a shell script to
look for this gs-5.1. If you install apsfilter, there is a readymade
script placed in /usr/lib/apsfilter/bin called apsfilter which merely
uses the correct ghostscript driver.There are few lines to be changed
at the top, to the correct binary for the PRINT_PS variable.
The other option is to download a dedicated epson dmp driver. There used
to be a link on freshmeat. Search for "epson". There used to be only one
link for dmps exclusively. Most of them are for inkjets and lasers. I
had used this for a Godrej-1010 printer for a friend about 2-3 years ago
Forgot the link.

To find out all files in a dir over a given size, try:
find /path/to/dir_of_file -type f -size +Nk
[Where N is a number like 1024 for 1mb, and multiples thereof]
