I get

till@till-laptop:~$ lpinfo -m | grep -i "Epson Stylus DX3850"
gutenprint/Epson/Epson-Stylus_DX3850-gutenprint.5.0-en.ppd.gz Epson Stylus DX3850 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1

and have both cupsys-driver-gutenprint and foomatic-db-gutenprint installed. With only cupsys-driver-gutenprint installed you should get at least:

till@till-laptop:~$ lpinfo -m | grep -i "Epson Stylus DX3850"
gutenprint/Epson/Epson-Stylus_DX3850-gutenprint.5.0-en.ppd.gz Epson Stylus DX3850 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1
gutenprint/Epson/Epson-Stylus_DX3850-gutenprint.5.0.sim-en.ppd.gz Epson Stylus DX3850 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 Simplified
till@till-laptop:~$

The output of "lpinfo -m" is exactly what the printer setup tools list. At least the CUPS web interface, gnome-cups-manager, and KDE Printing Manager should do so.

Can you do the command

lpinfo -m | grep -i "Epson Stylus DX3850"

on your machine?
