I don't know this printer and gave up on gs in favor of real postscript,
but from what I see on the web, I think -sDEVICE=epsonc is not your best
choice.  It looks like you want the "Uniprint" driver instead.  Try:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_Color_400
and 
http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/gnu/7.05/Devices.htm#Uniprint

HTH.
