It has happened to me in the past too.  Normally restarting the CUPS server is 
enough to get things going again, but it is this very solution I am denied.  
Because of the way Ubuntu deals with permissions I am all at sea.

I had forgotten about lpq, not that it helped much, it just told me :-

Yes, C64 is the default driver.  Have you been able to use the Epson utility 
tool to check ink levels and alike?

I would very much like to do this but I have not figured out the correct 
command line parameter to pass.  Since I have to use RAW mode for this I have 
to use the utility from the command line.  Getting this to work might give 
more clues to the problem.
