You should first be able to print with the default
printcap. (Mine was called 'generic dot matrix printer')

Even
     if

         it 
              doesn't
                       look
                            great.


lpr <textfile>

If that produces output you're on the right track.

lpq will show you what's waiting to print. 

Then you can go on to magicfilter. It took me a couple
of days to work things out, but ultimately magicfilterconfig
produced a suitable printcap and seems to work fine.
