magicfilterconfig is a perl script, not a printer input filter.
Just run it as root to configure for your printer. Since in
Debian 1.3 you said you installed magicfilter, probably you can
just delete the line you added and try printing.
Tip: latest install of lpr has the demon polling for lp0; in my
1.3 Debian system this was lp1. Only difference in my 1.3 vs 2.0
/etc/printcap:
Deb 1.3: :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
Deb 2.0: :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
You might want to: dmesg |more
Check for: lp0 at 0x03bc, (polling)
If you don't see this line, the printing demon is not running.
