A quick follow on--- Everything now builds nicely and summary testing is without problems.  
1. After uninstalling  libsub, the 'gutenprint53+usb' backend works nicely for the one printer tested(sudo BACKEND=mitsu70x /usr/libexec/cups/backend/gutenprint53+usb -s).  
2. With the modifications to genppd.c cited earlier in the thread, all Printer Features are available for printers that can print to CD/DVDs and are passed properly for printing (tested using file print for Epson SP R800)
3. Actual ink on paper with Epson WF-1100 is fine.

I will do some more testing at a later time.
