Hi Michael!
The LJ1100-Printer doesn't support Postscript. magicfilter uses afaik gs to
convert ps-data to PCL (HP Printer Language). cups can also use gs.
Take a look at www.linuxprinting.org. There you can generate a ppd-file for
your printer using gs.
Btw: cupsd seems to grap all available cpu-power. At least on my system. Does
anyone have got the same problem?
