I'm no expert (obviously :) ), but to try to get stuff set up as cleanly
as possible and eliminate potential sources of trouble, you could try
basically what I did:
Purge lpr/lprng and apsfilter/magicfilter (if you're using one of
those). Do a ps ax | grep lpd and kill anything that shows up.
Install lprng--if it configures for you, good, if it doesn't configure,
then try rebooting and then run dpkg --configure lprng. Then install
magicfilter or apsfilter, and configure your printer.
Try it then and see if it works; if it doesn't, reboot and then
try again.
If it still doesn't work... you'll need help from someone more
knowledgeable than I--like the other Michael. :)
