You should also try
/usr/bin/lpr -P EpsonR380
/usr/bin/lp -d EpsonR380
After failed attempts, check ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/cups/*_log
for clues. If that does not produce anything useful, set "LogLevel
debug" (instead of "warning") in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, restart cups(ys)
and try again.

Hmm, I see a line "XXX is ready" above the "no entries" one, where "XXX"
is the name of the default printer.

That looks OK to me; let's hope that looking at the log files turns up
something.
