magicfilter and smbprint together?

I have recently figured out how to print from my debian machine to a win95
printer using lpr and the input filter smbprint as follows:

rlp|Remote printer entry:\
        :cm=HPLIII printer in IIGR 301:\
        :lp=/dev/rlp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
	:af=/var/log/rlp-acct:\
        :lf=/var/log/rlp-errs:\
        :mx#0:\
        :if=/usr/local/bin/smbprint:\
        :sh:

However, I also would like to use the ljet3-filter supplied with
magicfilter. I read in the Printing-HOWTO about double queueing but I
thought the following solution would be simpler (although it doesn't seem
to work:)) - put the ljet3-filter inside of the smbprint script (note that
I have an extremely simple smbprint script that is similar to the one
supplied with samba, but it has the win95 info hard-coded)

- ------------------old smbprint:
#!/bin/sh -x
(
# NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want automatic
# CR/LF translation when printing.
        echo translate
        echo "print -"
        cat
) | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\MAIN\\HPLIII" -N -P > /var/log/smb-print.log

- ------------------new smbprint:
#!/bin/sh -x
(
# NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want automatic
# CR/LF translation when printing.
        echo translate
        echo "print -"
        cat
) | /usr/sbin/ljet3-filter | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\MAIN\\HPLIII" -N -P > /var/log/smb-print.log

I thought this would work perfectly, but I'm wrong as when I tried
lpr -Prlp test.dvi
the printer down the hall started pumping out pages with junk all over
them. Am I missing something or is there a better correct way to do this?


Cheers, Colin
