Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported escputil commands against Gutenprint 5.3.4 on Void Linux, including both /dev/usb/lp0 invocation forms. Inspect the Void package configuration and the reported Gutenprint assertion in print-list.c; done means identifying a package or upstream fix that allows the Epson print-head cleaning command to run without aborting.
