Opps :) I meant lp0 but was thinking of something else..

Ok - so kernel works and printer works...

It's gs then.. The filter is set up correctly but gs doesn't seem to
recognize pc13. I should have seen that before.
gs -sDEVICE=pcl3 is the setting used by gs... It works here in unstable
and woody.... [that device]
Maybe try reinstalling gs? If your printing stopped working after an upgrade,
maybe you need to upgrade it again [buggy package?]
Hope this helps,
