now I DID see where my epson.ppd showed: ... *NickName: "EPSON Stylus Color 880 - CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.7" DefaultPageSize: A4 *PageSize A4/A4: "<</PageSize[595 842]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
If there is really the leading '*' missing at DefaultPageSize and if there is really the line break after ImagingBBox, it is both not o.k. according to the PPD sepc. Use /usr/bin/cupstestppd to test tzhe PPDs which you actually use (i.e. those in /etc/cups/ppd/).
this is not good, maybe the A4 made it stop?
If you are talking about the default media size: Set it to the media size of your printer. As far as I know ony a real PostScript printer may stop printing if the PostScript code which it should print has a different media size than what is actually available in the printer. As far as I know the Stylus Color 880 should at least print regardless of the media size - only the printout may be misplaced.
