Your input filter seems to be magicfilter config, which (unless magicfilter
has changed a lot lately) is wrong. What's with the underscores too?
I don't know anything about a filter.pcl either. My entry for my PCL
printer reads

lp|lj|lj5l|HP LaserJet 5L:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj5l:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=/usr/sbin/ljet4l-filter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

Straight from magicfilter.
