Yes, sorry: should read "can't".

I've checked the port settings on the Epson driver: if I install it from the Epson 
CD, it's set to LPT1: and can't be changed, so that doesn't work. If I install it 
from the Add Printer "wizard", the job (usually print test from windows) shows up on 
the Epson Status Monitor showing a connection error.

This is in contrast to the laser printer, which works every time.

Nothing at all; it seems the job isn't getting to Samba.
