I use my printer rarely, and I don't need to keep it in a lan, and so
I would like to know if there is an alternative to cups, more
"plug'n'play" for single pc and single printer...

I can't think of anything simpler than cups.

try:
/usr/bin/enable printername

if that doesn't work try:
/etc/init.d/cupsys stop
/etc/init.d/cupsys start

Making sure the printer is on, and the usb printer module is loaded.

I don't know if there is a way to force cupsys to just assume the
printer is there even if it is off with USB printers.  I always just
leave the printer on personally so it generally doesn't become a
problem.

Well I don't know for sure, but it might be a problem with Epson printer. I got the same problem last year, but I did not investigate it, as I was a my way to get an HP printer, which was recognized as soon as a pluged it in.
