Actually, it is d) and someone did notice. Today saw the release of
Gutenprint 5.2.6 and the ChangeLog says "Fix printing to Epson S20,
S21, T20, T21". The bug report describes exactly the same symptoms as
you did above. So, it appears that S20 support was broken in the 5.2.5
release, on which the current RISC OS version is based. This will be
fixed in the next Gutenprint for RISC OS release (sorry, no estimate
for when this will happen).
