Probably, but the 520 is a black & white printer. It was my
understanding that I needed to use a driver which output a format which
magicfilter understood. That's the way I have set up printcap anyway,
but there are other ways to do it. Therefore I picked a postscript
driver. The HP drivers I have for the 520 predate Windows 95.
