When I was running Debian Potato on my box, I used lprng and
magicfilter on my Epson Stylus Colour 640, and they seemed to work
quite well together. I had problems with the bog standard lpd however.
I suggest you try wiping your printcap file, installing magicfilter and
lprng, and also possibly Printtool if you have a fetish for GUI admin
tools (magicfilter-config seems to do its job quite well though).
Good luck
