Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
1) Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx - Released in April 2010
2) cups package version: 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.2
3) Expect that "Epson LP-M5500 Foomatic/eplaser-jp (recommended)" be selected and that printing work.
4) "Epson LP-M5000 Foomatic/eplaser-jp (recommended)" is automatically selected. " "Epson LP-M5500 Foomatic/eplaser-jp (recommended)" does not exist in the list of Epson printers. When trying to print with " "Epson LP-M5000 Foomatic/eplaser-jp (recommended)", cups can detect the printer and its state. When one clicks on the button to print a test page, cups shows an indicator message that the page was sent to the printer and shows the job number. No error is shown by cups. The Epson LP-M5500FZ (F stands for Fax capable version and Z stands for Scanner Stand included version) warms up. However nothing prints out. If I send a page from a Windows machine, it prints out fine. Thus, the Epson printer itself has no issues.
Here are the settings in cups (I am translating the headings from Japanese into English and thus they may be slightly different than what they are when Ubuntu is set in default language of English):

It is possible that the LP-M5500 is not compatible with the LP-M5000 so that the driver does not cover this printer. Please have a look at http:// avasys. jp/eng/ linux_driver/ to see whether there is a suitable driver for your printer.
In addition, please also supply an error_log as described under "CUPS error_log" on https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingPr intingProblems.
