I'd also go for the Bonjour method. Its pretty much Apple's preferred LAN connection.
(I don't know that its easy to set a fixed address for all the various Epson printers).
If possible I'd always recommend USB if the cord can reach, but after that Bonjour handles
printers connected via ethernet cable, wireless, usb to airport router -- specifically handling
the IP numbers.

With QTR there are two ways to setup Bonjour. You can always directly got SysPrefs > Print&Scan
and Add a printer -- select the Epson printer (Bonjour not Epson IP), name it Quad...., and
run the correct install script to install the profiles. The other which was added a version ago
was to connect an Epson driver the printer with Bonjour, then the QTR install script recognizes
the Epson driver connection and duplicates it.

Bonjour must do some magic. I have been using ethernet attached printers via Bonjour for years, and it has never missed a beat. In fact, it kept on working a couple of years back when my network numbering changed from 192.168.0 to 192.168.15.

Anyway, I hope that this is helping the OP somewhere along the line.
