I got my Epson C66 Photo up and running using CUPS, ESP Ghostscript, and
the gimp-print drivers (using C64 since C66 isn't listed explicitly). It
all works and I exported it through Samba and printed successfully from
a Windows box :-)
Then I found that the Epson KOWA drivers were in the ports -
print/*pips*-sc65_66s - so installed them as they are better drivers,
changed the configuration in CUPS as per readme-sc65_66s-cups but the
*printer* wouldn't work.
I deleted the *printer* and re-added it from scratch but still it won't
work. When I click Print Test Page in CUPS the *printer* head "shuffles"
which shows there is some communication with the *printer* but it just
shows "Processing..." for a while then the job appears under Completed
Jobs with a status of "aborted".
I've set CUPS to log at debug2 level but that doesn't show anything
useful (to me anyway):

The ekpstm program (Status Monitor) shows a "Communication Error" and
the *pips*-sc65_66s program shows "*Cannot **communicate* with a
*printer*" on
the Utility tab.
Can anyone offer any help/advice on this please?
BTW, the port appears to be missing a build dependency for autoconf253 -
my build stopped part way through as it couldn't find
/usr/local/bin/autoconf253.
Thanks.

Mark
Did you every get this resolved? (I know this post was very old)
