Are you talking about the Epson Stylus C42UX? I don't have experience of running it under Linux but I do under windows and that printer is horrid compared to the quality I get from my old HP Deskjet 710C.
Yes, I was sitting at home, printer was sitting at work, memory like a particularly stoned goldfish most of the time ;)
Is it the same printer? I've tried to set it up under Linux using the KDE Printing manager with the settings below:

Not a clue using the KDE printer mangler, have had it working using cups + gimp-print, took all of 10 mins to set up, which was nice. Quality appears reasonable, and the only real complaint I have with it is that it appears to eat black ink rather quickly. We've had some decent quality prints out of it over the last few months, too.
Looks like you're wanting to set it up over samba, what you had there should have worked, as long as the printer is shared correctly etc etc.
