Epson C44UX installation

[Magnus Lawrie]

I am intending to install gimp-print, but have found little info. Only 
the following advice on linuxprint.org:

<<

I had problems printing with my C44UX also, however I have solved these by
downloading and installing gimp-print-5.0.0-beta2 and foomatic-filters-3.0.2
and foomatic-engine-3.0.2, as well as the foomatic-db-20041118.

With this packages installed, I'm now able to print via CUPS. Previously 
I was
getting the error 'no pages found'.

Any advice before I set off on this path?

regards,
