[Koha] Debian or Ubuntu Koha staff stations -- receipt printing

I set up Koha Self-check stations about a year ago using Debian 6.0 as a
base. Both the Epson T88IV as well as the Epson T88V work great in the Koha
selfcheck module. This year I am hoping to set up staff stations with
either Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Debian 7 as a base. However, though the Epson's
print ...they do not print from Koha.

Has anyone already traveled down this path? If so, what worked?

My method:

1. Get drivers here:
http://download.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/index.php?page=prod&pcat=3&scat=32&pid=30

2. Run the install script
3. Copy PPD files into /usr/share/ppd/
4. Finish install in cups ...AKA: localhost:631

Symptoms: prints test page, prints from every conceivable application
....prints from wikipedia ...doesn't print Koha receipts. Iceweasel,
Chrome, Chromium and Firefox were tried.

Thanks!
