This may sound silly, but check that you are still printing to the
correct device. When I upgraded similarly, I had to change the device
from lp0 to lp1 - I never bothered to chase down why, and I did upgrade
the BIOS at the same time so maybe that was it.
For reference, here is my current magicfilter-installed printcap entry:
lp|stylus_color|Epson Stylus Color:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/stylus_color:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/sbin/stylus_color-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
Good luck!
