.. then stop printing after the 1st page! :)
Seriously -- I'm using the same printer, no probs -- AFTER I threw away
lprng and replaced it with lpr. (Why this should make such a
difference, I don't know. Anyone got any clues?) I had the same
problem as you to begin with.
I purged lprng [ dpkg --purge lprng ]
the installed lpr [ apt-get install lpr ]
from a sources list pointing to testing.
The driver I installed under magicfilter was as follows:
# This file was generated by /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig.
#
lp|epsonsc|Stylus Color 670:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epsonsc:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/stylus_color_360dpi-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
.. which reminds me -- I noticed that the printer name 'epson' is
already in use, so I changed the one I gave to: epsonsc
