I have an Epson Stylus Color IIs. I have done exactly as you describe,
and it prints beautiful test pages.

I can print text from emacs, but when I print from Abiword or Mozilla, 
it spews page after page of what I assume is raw postscript code. I 
haven't found anything in the CUPS docs that covers this. Where to I 
start troubleshooting?

TIA, Paul
