Epson TX100 printer driver wanted

Anyone found a driver for an Epson TX100 printer?
Or know of an alternative driver that works?
Thanks
Regards

Is it covered by gutenprint?

It's my son-in-law's printer and he says he got the Epson Stylus scan 2500-cups+gutenprint 5.0.2 driver
It recognises the printer but will not print. He has 46 jobs waiting. Spooling?
I don't know enough about it to help him so I hope this all makes sense.
Thanks for you help
Regards

I'm a bit confused. It looks like that there's a dedicated TX100 driver. Is the 2500 driver for this printer also?

pacman -Ql gutenprint | grep -i tx100
gutenprint /usr/share/cups/model/C/stp-escp2-tx100.5.2.ppd.g

If this doesn't work, definitely let me know. I have something that we can try, but I want to exhaust the easier stuff first.

--EDIT--

I was having trouble with printing with my Epson printer when coreutils 7.1 got into the repos. Before that it worked perfectly ever since I had it. It turned out that a simple rebuild of libcups fixed the problem. I grabbed the PKGBUILD from ABS and rebuilt with no changes to the PKGBUILD. After installation printing worked again. I don't remember if I had to restart the CUPS daemon again, but that's a simple step anyway.

skottish
I just rang my Son-in-law with your information but he has gone back to Ubuntu, sorry.
I started him off with Linux about a year ago and he's trying out different distros so I'm sure he'll come back to Arch eventually like I did.
Once again thanks for your help.
Regards:)
