I have been followed the instructions in the arch wiki, first I install CUPS but when I saw that nothing happened, I install cups-usblp package from AUR and it's the same. Here are some information about the printer and some files that I changed.

Epson TX300F (multifunctional)

#/etc/rc.conf

MODULES=(usblp)
#MODULES=(!usblp)

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus networkmanager gdm cups)

When I restart the printer
#tail /var/log/messages.log

It's cupsd in your daemons line not cups...

Thanks for the answer, I changed it, but It's still not working.

Have a look if this helps perhaps.

Solved! I decided to uninstall the packages that I had installed. I installed the following packages.

1) pacman -S cups ghostscript gsfonts
2) pacman -S gutenprint foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-nonfree foomatic-filters

Also I downloaded and installed the drive for the epson printer in aur:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39015

I added a udev rules for the printer in:

/etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbprinter.rules

With the information of the printer.

ATTR{idVendor}=="04b8",ATTR{idProduct}=="0848",MODE:="0660",GROUP:="lp"

You have to create a blacklist for the printer, just like the wiki's said.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS

I don't know if it's right, but I also created a nobeep.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/, just like this:

blacklist usblp

reboot the pc and the printer, and that's all!!

THANKS for ALL!!
