You have to customize the printing system manually by doing the following:

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

  1) copy the file /usr/doc/magicfilter/filters/<your-printer> into
       /usr/sbin/<your-printer-filter>

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

Example:
  0) I have an Epson Stylus 800 bubble jet printer, with the following
     entry in /etc/printcap:

     ...
     lp|stylus|stylus800|Epson Stylus 800:\
       :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/stylus800:\
       :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#2880:mx#0:\
       :if=/usr/sbin/stylus800-filter:\
       :af=/var/adm/stylus-acct:
     ...

  1) cp /usr/doc/magicfilter/filters/stylus800-filter /usr/sbin
           ...
  2)
