Printing problems

[Jeff <jcoppock1@attbi.com>]

I'm having some trouble.  This used to work, and all-of-a-sudden
it isn't now.  I have a woody/2.4.16 system with an HP Deskjet
952C on the parallel port.  I use LPRNG and MAGICFILTER with the
dj690c-filter, and this has worked fine in the past.  I've done a
few apt-get update/upgrades since last I printed, so I'm
suspicious of something that might have changed in an upgrade.

My BIOS setting for the port is ECP and my kernel settings are:

CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
CONFIG_PRINTER=y

The following lines show up in /var/log/dmesg:

parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: irq 7 detected
parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38)
parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38)
parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38)
parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38)
lp0: using parport0 (polling).

I can send data to the printer using:

cat text.file > /dev/lp0
and...
lpr text.file
and...
enscript -1 -G text.file

and the printer prints, but not the text.  The output has words
that look like the filter or enscript calls, e.g.
'%%BoundingBox...' and '/.notdef' and '%!PS-Adobe-3.0....'

This is messing with me...I feel like I'm close, but I'm missing
something small.  

I've purged and reinstalled LPRNG and MAGICFILTER, and even tried
using LPR, but no luck.

Any help will much appreciated.

thanks,
jc
