Can you do the following:
Go to
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=516274
This is a page about the Epson Stylus Scan 2500. Click on the "stcolor"
link at the bottom and then choose the "Epson Stylus Scan 2500" in the
menu at the button "Generate CUPS PPD". Click the button and you will
see the PPD file as text in your browser. Wait until the download
completes (animation of the icon in the upper right corner of the
browser stops). Choose "File" and "Save as..." and save the file under
"scan2500.ppd". Log in as "root" and copy the file into
/usr/share/cups/model. Restart the CUPS daemon with "service cups
restart" and then install your printer with KUPS, printerdrake, or the
web interface. Choose the "Epson Stylus Scan 2500" as your printer
model. Tell me if this works, then I could add this information to the
database of www.linuxprinting.org. Try also the driver for the "Epson
Stylus Photo 2000P". This should already be in the list, if not,
download the PPD file from www.linuxprinting.org, too:

Please tell me your results, thank you.
