Slink upgrade broke printer configuration



I just upgraded from Hamm to Slink. Everything appears to be fine,
except that my printer configuration is broken. I've hunted all the
places that I know to look for the problem, to no avail.

I'm using magicfilter with an Epson Stylus Color 400 printer. After
the upgrade to Slink

1. ASCII prints, but the page is not ejected at the end (a minor
annoyance, but perhaps a useful symptom),

2. PostScript causes an unlimited number of pages to be run through
and ejected, with nothing printed on them.

I've tried printing PostScript with enscript, dvips, lpr, and Lyx,
with the same results. I've tried the lprng package as well as the lpr

package. I checked /etc/printcap, /etc/filter.ps, /etc/filter.pcl
against the older versions, and they are unchanged. /etc/init.d/lpd
changed, but the changes appear to have to do only with control of
starting and stopping the daemon, rather than actual print
configuration.

What other locations for printer configuration am I overlooking?

Thanks,
