[SOLVED] Printer prints garbage text - Error with pstoraster

I have a Epson Stylus C43SX printer, which is connected to LPT#1.
When I try to print something, the printer will print garbage text.
From cups manager browser interface ( http://localhost:631 ), if I try to print the test page, it prints out garbage.
If I select 'Print self-test page', the cups manager reports an error -

"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"

The description of printer, as seen on cups manager page -
Description: Epson Stylus C43SX
Location:
Printer Driver: Epson Stylus C43SX - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.1
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: parallel:/dev/lp0

Cups package version                      cups 1.3.4-1
Gutenprint package version              gutenprint 5.0.1-3

Thanks in advance!

I can print properly again. I reinstalled arch and added the printer using cups http interface.
