I don't know what the M in the 5M stnds for. We have both 4L and a
5L, and both work fine with magicfilter. I mainly use it for postscript,
though. Have you checked the cti-ifhp package? I don't use it, but it should
help in this case.
In any case, if what you describe is
something
like
this
that
goes
on and on [sorry :D]
you may want to read the Printing-HOWTO. Or reconfigure magicfilter to work
as a ljet4m. So, as root, try /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig. The program that
runs is self-explanatory...
