To conclude this thread, I did a couple of tests on a vanilla install of Tahr 6.05 to get this printer working.
rcrsn51's instructions are almost complete. A restart is required to make it work. I tried simply restarting CUPS, but that wasn't enough. Both the Brother Debbi tool and the Epson Eppi tool work, however I feel that Eppi is slightly better. The Eppi tool allows CUPS to us the "find new printers" button, and correctly names the printer. The Debbi tool failed to "find new printers" but "add printer" had it there. Debbi named the printer simply "USB".
My instructions, added to rcrsn51's instructions to install this docket printer in Puppy.
1, Go to How to the Brother printer thread.

2. Install the eppi tool. Read about how to run it using tab-completion.
3. Download the driver from the Epson website here:

4. Unpack the driver package that you downloaded. It contains a folder named tmx-cups.
5. Open the backend folder in the tmx-cups folder. There two i386.deb files. Run eppi on them.
6. Open the filter folder. There is one i386.deb file. Run eppi on it.
7. Open the ppd folder. Copy the three files to /usr/share/cups/model.
8. Reboot the computer.
9. Run the CUPS wizard. There should now be a special backend that will recognize your printer. Go to the Administration tab, and click on "Find New Printers" and follow the prompts.
Thanks to rcrsn51 for his continued support and hand holding and to bigpup for pointing me in the right direction also.
