hiho,
do you running lpr or lprng ? lpr on potato gave me some trouble with
magicfilter.
try a "lpc local all". do you see any printcap information ?
you can list the defaults with "lpc defaults". look for "printcap_path". there
should be a line "printcap_path =/etc/printcap". perhaps your package is built
with wrong paths :(
tell me the results, please.
ciao -ap
