Hmm, I'm seeing the same problem on 1.6.1 (haven't tested with
-current). Everything is printed fine, except that the machine is 
really slow and the CPU load is abnormally high (2~30% or so)
while printing. On the same machine, the Linux version of CUPS
just works nicely and as fast as the Windows printer driver.

I'm using an Epson Stylus Photo 710.
