Printing

[Tod Detre <tod@Gandalf.cwru.edu>]

I'm having problems printing. I have a laserjet compatible. I can get it
to work by running gs and having it directly output to /dev/lp1 so I know
the print/port is set up right, but when I try to use lpr I get nothing.
I'm using magicfilter and at this point I'm just trying to get postscript
to work. I've included a copy of my /etc/printcap and the configfile for
magicconfig. 

-- Printcap

# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
# your own filters. See /etc/filter.ps, /etc/filter.pcl and
# the printcap(5) manual page for further details.
