Thanks - I did build epsgs from source using the --enable-cups 
option. I don't think the specific printers part is relevant as I 
will only use cups to print. From the list of files written by the 
epsgs "make install", I would guess that the following are required:

.../lib/cups/filter/pstopxl
.../lib/cups/filter/pstoraster

But it is not so obvious as to which, if any, of the rest of the many 
epsgs files are required.

I realise I could do this by trial and error, but a list of epsgs 
files on which cups depends would be easier...
