Bug#467177: With newer versions the Epson Stylus Photo 915 dosn't work anymore

["Bernard Gray" <bernard.gray@gmail.com>]

I am finding I am unable to print to a usb connected Epson Stylus
Photo R800 on debian sid:

ii  cupsys-driver-gutenprint
5.0.2-2                                   printer drivers for CUPS

I create a new printer via the cups admin web interface:

	aaa-eps-r800
		Description:
		Location:
		Printer Driver: Epson Stylus Photo R800 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2
		Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
		Device URI: epson:/dev/usb/lp0


When I try and print a test page from the cups admin web interface, it
returns the error:

	"Unable to open parallel port device file: Permission denied"


	$ ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
	crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 2008-02-28 01:41 /dev/usb/lp0

My user is a member of both lp and lpadmin groups

If I restart the printer, and try to print another test page I get a new error:

	"/usr/lib/cups/backend/epson failed"

This error appears in a current cupsys bugreport on the ubuntu bts:

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/183110


If I restart the printer a second time, and try to print another test
page I get the original error:

	"Unable to open parallel port device file: Permission denied"

Is there more information I can provide?
