Make sure your printer is powered-on when you boot your machine.
and Try /etc/init.d/hotplug restart followed by a /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
I've had problems with my Epson not working right if it's not detected on
boot.

I use my printer rarely, and I don't need to keep it in a lan, and so
I would like to know if there is an alternative to cups, more
"plug'n'play" for single pc and single printer...
I can't think of anything simpler than cups.
try:
/usr/bin/enable printername
if that doesn't work try:
/etc/init.d/cupsys stop
/etc/init.d/cupsys start
Making sure the printer is on, and the usb printer module is loaded.
I don't know if there is a way to force cupsys to just assume the
printer is there even if it is off with USB printers. I always just
leave the printer on personally so it generally doesn't become a
problem.

Well I don't know for sure, but it might be a problem with Epson printer.
I got the same problem last year, but I did not investigate it, as I was a
my way to get an HP printer, which was recognized as soon as a pluged it
in.
