Making an Epson work on FC5
Just installed FC5 (upgrade from FC4). Downloaded and installed latest gutenprint.
I cannot get the system to print to the Epson CX5800F. Using CUPS. Using USB to the printer.
Worked o.k. under FC4.
Have looked in the system messages and see indication that the printer is recognized when it is turned on:

----------------------------------
CUPS sees the printer, I have configured it there, but any job sent to the printer is immediately aborted. Can't even send a CUPS test page.
Any pointers on where to start looking?
Thanks.
