I set up an Epson SC 400 printer a while back. I still have dir's in 
/var/spool/lp for them
drwxr-sr-x    2 lp       lp           1024 Nov  9 11:10 epson
drwxr-sr-x    2 lp       lp           1024 Nov  9 14:06 epson100
drwxr-sr-x    2 lp       lp           1024 Nov  3  2000 epson180
drwxr-sr-x    2 lp       lp           1024 Nov  3  2000 epson360
drwxr-sr-x    2 lp       lp           1024 Nov  3  2000 epson720

I seem to recall that I made them, not magicfilter.

The multi dir's were necessary as I had to modify the magicfilter filters
to get the 400 to work at different resolutions.

Try making that directory.
