I no longer own Epson printer nor use Ubuntu. Still have fun reading comments in this bug every time new LTS gets released.
Six years. Few LTS releases and bug is still present.

But as they did not appeared on my printer I took a look at http://localhost:631/ and discovered this: "The PPD version (5.2.7) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1." Had to print to PDF and do printing from MS Windows laptop... [Impact] Printers used with Gutenprint do not work for all users who update from an older Ubuntu version to Precise. [Test Case] To reproduce: Upgrade from Gutenprint 5.2.7 to 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 does not update the PPD files of existing queues. To test, create a Gutenprint-based print queue on a system with 5.2.7 then run grep -i gutenprint /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd and see that the PPD files are of Gutenprint version 5.2.7. Update to 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 and run grep -i gutenprint /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd The PPDs are still not upgraded. Update from 5.2.7 or 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 to 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2.1 and your PPD files get updated to 5.2.8pre1. [Regression Potential] Only change is the timestamp of one file. So regressions should not be possible.
