According to Epson's download center [0], the XP-6000 series printers
need the printer-driver-escpr2 driver, which is a new package that needs
to be prepared and uploaded:
Package name : epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2
Version : 1.0.18
Upstream Author : Seiko Epson Corporation
URL : http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule
License : LGPL2.1 + EPSON restrictions
Programming Lang: C
Description : Epson Inkjet Printer Driver 2 (ESC/P-R)
This would be maintained under the Debian Printing Team umbrella.
That said, given this COPYING.EPSON at the root of the tarball, I'm afraid
it might be non-free. It might not even be redistributable:
In particular:
> This software includes source codes which are distributed under GNU Lesser General
> Public License v2.1 (COPYING.LIB). This software also includes objects codes
> which are distributed under the conditions of

and:

Indeed, the tarball contains escprlib/lib/libescpr2*.a
I'll check if these can be recompiled, but I really doubt it.
You will have to download the .deb for yourself I'm afraid.
Cheers,
OdyX
