Printing problem



Hello everyone.  

I am running Debian 2.1 and I am unable to print any files that are not
ascii text.  i.e. I can't print from netscape, or wordperfect but I can
type: "lpr asciifilename" at the shell command and that works.

I know I'm using the correct driver for my printer.  What else could I be
doing wrong?
Could something be wrong with my printcap file?  This is the one i'm 
using. 

lp|hplj4l|HP Laserjet 4L:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4l:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4m-filter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

Thanks in advance.

P.S. When I print from Word Perfect I get no error.  The job gets queued
but not printed.  When I try to print from Netscape I get this error: 
lpr: could not connect.  No such file or directory.  Job queued but cannot
start daemon. Am I missing my lpr daemon. How can I get it back?

A. None.  They declare "darkness", the standard.
