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!
