Unable to add local printer. cups hanging

[Peter D Knight]

Initially added epson c60 stylus but it installed with filter error.
Deleted printer from cups , added new printer.
Added the epson printer , selected the .ppd file that worked in 1904 and clicked add printer.
Cups just sits and thinks.
Same happens if I use the applications/System/printers menu.
Thanks
Peter
