hp deskjet 710c printer is connected to it on lpt1 (i am using windows nomenclature)

Just a general guess, but:
apt-get install magicfilter pnm2ppa

did that. now, although i have lpr installed, i do not have lpr entry in /etc/init.d!

I dont either. I have an entry for lpd in init.d

what to do now?

try to print something? echo "test" | lpr

does nothing!

failing that did you configure magicfilter? or your printcap file? I
used /sbin/magicfilterconfig and my printer worked like magic(oh no a
pun!!!).

sure did that. my /etc/printcap file now looks okay.
thanx again

Try:

cat <somefile.ps> | gs -sDEVICE=pnmraw -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -r600 -sOutputFile=- - | pnm2ppa --bw -i - -o - > /dev/lp0

All on one line, replacing <somefile.ps> with an actual postscript file. Does anything print? Try it as root if it doesn't work as a normal user.
