[Solved]Problem with printing on EPSON DX7450

Hi!
I have a problem with my printer EPSON DX7450. I have CUPS and gutenprint but EPSON is still "invisible" for Arch. I have xsane for scanning a documents and, what's strange, xsane scans documents without any problem. I loaded usblp, but CUPS still no sees my printer.

lsusb | grep Epson

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 04b8:0838 Seiko Epson Corp. CX7300/CX7400/DX7400

dmesg | grep EPSON

[11002.998663] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access     EPSON    Stylus Storage   1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

tail /var/log/messages.log | grep USB

Mar 27 14:16:13 localhost kernel: [11002.369125] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0838

@update
And, yes, i read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS#Configuring

Try this,

Worked for my RX685, I would also reccomend trying iscan.

Then see this thread.

No, but the idea was you create one ;-)

Anyway, great you solved it with the AUR package recommended by zero_one.
Please edit the subject (edit button on bottom right of first post) and add [Solved] to it. This makes it easier for others searching for working solutions in the forum.
