Ok, I found (and fixed) my issue:
In the interest of presenting a clean log, I booted a sidux 2008-01
pre2 livecd to test from.
There still seems to be a bug in the kde control center when adding
the printer (that's for another report), but adding it from the cups
web admin interface from a fresh livecd boot worked a treat (much to
my surprise).
The printer now appears twice in the list of possible devices:
EPSON Stylus Photo RX590 USB #1 (EPSON Stylus Photo RX590)
...
Gutenprint USB Printer #1 (EPSON USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed))
After choosing the first entry, the correct driver is automagically
chosen in the next step of the setup dialog, and after completing
setup, the printer works flawlessly :)
With the broken cupsd.conf, only one entry appears in the cups admin
interface "selectable devices" list:
Gutenprint USB Printer #1 (EPSON USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed))
In the KDE control center, the new cupsd.conf also has a selectable
"Local Printer" option which was greyed out with the broken
cupsd.conf.
Sure enough, I copy the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf off the livecd boot, onto
my hd install and I can install the printer and it works! So, it seems
user error is the cuprit here, a dist-upgrade without diff-ing a major
cupsd.conf format change (in my case at least).
I'm not sure of the easiest way to rebuild the cupsd.conf file via
dpkg/apt (I can't find a sample floating round in /use/share/*), so
I'll just post the working cupsd.conf -
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
