You edited the file while the CUPS daemon was running, and it overwrote
your changes.  You need to use "modify printer" in the CUPS web
interface, or use lpadmin -v.  Note that the "epson" backend is not
recommended; it's removed in the new version of gutenprint, so I
suggest you use the plain "usb" backend.  Note that with
usb:// you can't use device node names.  Use "/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v" to
get a full list of valid names for your system.

If you install the "gv" package, you can try viewing these for yourself.

Broken.

Broken.

OK.

The Broken/OK is for whether gv (using ghostscript to render it) can
view the pages.  The is the same ghostscript CUPS is using as the
pstoraster program.  I suggest you file a bug report against the
ghostscript package, because it is failing on what looks like valid
input (I could convert them to PDF with ps2pdf and then view them
without any problems, and you should also be able to print them this
way as well).

Does "lpr -P <printer> /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps" result in
output (once you fix the backend problem above)?
