What does the following command show (when the printer is on) ? su -c "lpinfo -l -v" Created attachment 522029 [details]
lpinfo -l -v
Output of command: lpinfo -l -v
The driver that's getting assigned is a "close" match, which isn't always guaranteed to give good (or any) results.
Not associated with any driver packages:
$ /usr/share/system-config-printer/check-device-ids.py 'EPSON Stylus C92' 'MFG:EPSON;CMD:ESCPL2,BDC,D4,D4PX;MDL:Stylus C92;CLS:PRINTER;DES:EPSON Stylus C92;'

The model number is fairly close so it was a reasonable guess.
I think the solution is to modify gutenprint so that it provides a "Stylus C92" driver identical to the Stylus C68 driver.
