I think there is a new version 1.0.11-1 at https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/06/92/76/61c3f3b4bce0dca879a8ce26c175498d1f6496ba/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.11-1lsb3.2.src.rpm with the sha256sum 84b81e68a36fc1ad6dab980ba3b16bc0827b98d9071ee7dc80801cbf47c1e8e2. Printing a test page seems to work. I'm sorry if this update was held back on purpose, but if not, could someone please update this package? Thank you!

Thanks @hcartiaux ! Driver works now with my ET-4750 :)

Thanks @hcartiaux, much appreciated.
For some reason the patch did not work for me, so I re-created it changing the same lines to what you suggested. Now all is good.
Unfortunately, I can't test myself either before end of next week. If anyone would want to give it a new try..

I've adapted the patch given by @stronnag for epson-inkjet-printer-escpr. It compiles but I've not tested.

Hello, I can confirm! Epson inkjet printer escpr2 with ET-4750 driver just pushes a blank page out of the printer :( I can print with the ET 4550 driver

I am using the PPD for the ET-4550 (for my ET-4750) which appears to work fine for the moment. I may try gnucli's suggestion of removing the ESCPRCompression line. Unfortunately, I do not know any C either to be able to assist with the issue :/

I had a similar issue with my ET-2750 on Linux Mint where the paper just passed straight through without trying to print anything. Running dmesg didn't show any errors, though. I resolved it by unzipping the PPD file (in my case: Epson-ET-2750_Series-epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2.ppd.gz) and deleting line 32 which says "*ESCPRCompression: 3, 16". I don't know what this line was supposed to do, but the printer seems to work fine now without it.

This is an issue with the package. Printing with this driver creates a segfault on 64 bit systems (check dmesg to see) because of some sloppy C code in the Epson driver. It needs a patch as the other driver epson-inkjet-printer-escpr got, but I lack the skills in C to do it myself.
I don't understand though how you made it work with the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr driver because it does not actually include a PPD for the ET-4750.

There's a list of all Epson printers supported by this driver in the Wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Printer-specific_problems#Epson and alternatively in the GitLab repository https://gitlab.com/at.gentoo.repo/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2/-/blob/master/SUPPORTED-PRINTERS always for the most recent driver version.

Just a suggestion: could you add the following keywords to the package, it will make finding the package for specific printers easier:
