Sorry for the latest message.

I'm now running the LiveCD to check if it is the case on the default system, where only cupsys-driver-gutenprint is installed. The driver indeed seems to be present:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lpinfo -m | grep -i "Epson Stylus DX3850"
gutenprint.5.0://escp2-dx3850/expert/C Epson Stylus DX3850 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1
gutenprint.5.0://escp2-dx3850/simple/C Epson Stylus DX3850 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 Simplified

but the KDE "add printer" wizard still doesn't find it. So it might be a problem in the kdeprint package. I send you here a screenshot of the list of Epson Stylus drivers in the KDE "add printer" wizard. Many printers are not there.
