Did you restart cupsd after installing cups-filters: service cupsd restart In /usr/local/etc/cups are there any differences between cups-files.conf and cups-files.conf.sample, cupsd.conf and cupsd.conf.sample or snmp.conf and snmp.conf.sample? It's best to stop cupsd before making any changes to these files: service cupsd stop For the HP printer there's official support in print/hplip, but the generic PCL driver included with CUPS probably works too. For the Epson printer you'll probably need print/gutenprint-cups.
