0) Add the right entries to your /etc/printcap file.

/usr/sbin/<your-printer-filter>
2) make the input-filter-entry (if) point to your magicfilter script
...
if=/usr/sbin/<your-printer-filter>
...

0) I have an Epson Stylus 800 bubble jet printer, with the following
entry in /etc/printcap:
...
lp|stylus|stylus800|Epson Stylus 800:\

:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#2880:mx#0:\
