Hon hon, try instead:

lp|eps|Epson my_model:\	# didn't get the beginning of this thread
    :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\	# .../epson must exist, of course
    :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\		# 1440 = *MY* printer's definition in dpi; pw & pl self explained
    :if=/etc/magicfilter/stylus740p-filter:\	# This filter's not part of org. package, but regular's Ok
    :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
    
Also, if you didn't installed the magicfilter package, it is
strongly recommended to install it!
