Sorry to report but I put my cupsd.conf and activated debug2 and in the
foomatic-rip I changed /etc/foomatic/filter.conf debug:0 to debug: 1

I can't find where the foomatic log files is located.  It looked like
when I did dpkg-reconfigure foomatic-filters, I was told the log file
would be in /tmp.  I can't locate the log file
in /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/log, /var/log/cups, am I looking in the wrong
place?

my printer is also using

Device:  usb:/dev/usb/lp0
Model:   EPSON Stylus Photo 820 - CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.7

I am not using any of the foomatic drivers.  Would this be the reason?
