OK. I don't know which of the following to choose. I'll go through the 
hard-copy manual that came with the printer to see which of the 
following make sense:

EPSON 9-PIN Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
EPSON 24-PIN Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
EPSON New Stylus Colour Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
EPSON New Stylus Photo Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
EPSON Stylus Colour Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
EPSON Stylus Photo Series CUPS v1.1 (en)
