The following might help. It is Saturday's announcement of Gutenprint 
5.1.1 (development release), which will be followed by a stable 
release 5.0.1 with the same features backported. As soon as that has 
happened I suppose it should not be too hard to have a RISC OS release 
based on it, which would add full support for the RX560 (and many 
others).

A) NEW FEATURES AND FIXES IN GUTENPRINT 5.1.1:

  1) New printers supported in this release:
       Epson Picturemate Flash, Pal, Snap
       Epson Picturemate PM-200, PM-210, PM-240, PM-250, PM-280
       Epson Stylus C79+, C87+
       Epson Stylus Photo 1400, 1410
       Epson Stylus Photo R230, R350, R260, R265,
                          R270, R360, R380, R390
       Epson Stylus Photo RX560, RX580, RX640
       Epson PM A820, D870, G850, G4500

  2) Preliminary support for the following printers:
       Epson Stylus Photo R240, R245

That should really give a wide range of current printers to choose 
from...
