This is what I get when I run magicfilterconf.

You will have to supply the following items for each printer to be installed
(example values in parentheses):

 - its short name, its full name and the alias (hpjlet4, HP LaserJet 4,lj)
 - the device where the printer is attached    (/dev/lp1)
 - and the input filter you want to use        (ljet4m)

Printer #1:
------------
Full name, `done' when done             [HP Laserjet 4L      ]: 
            ^^^^
            
Typing done when I was through has always worked.
