Bob,

Can you send me the patched ps600-filter for magicfilter in its entirety
? I don't know how to apply the patch you sent earlier (plus its inlined
in the message body, and not as an attachment) ?

I'll try lprng+magicfilter again with your patched ps600-filter.

Can you send me your patched ps600-filter as an attachment (as is or
gzipped is fine) ?

BTW, doesn't this mean that there is a bug in magicfilter or at least in
one of the filters it uses ? Have you filed a bug report ?

Thanks.
