Hi Jerry,
I re-installed the Epson driver and utility. When I tried to install the printer from either the printer management app or the cups web interface, a list of EPSON printer would appear for selection, but when I wanted to print a test page I get the message "not connected". Weird!
Finally I went to the printer and printed out the network settings. When I configured the printer manually using the ipps address from the printer, everything worked!
I going to leave it at that - the problem is solved.
However, I curious why the usb connection was never an option. Is cups no longer allowing for direct usb connections to printers?
Regards
