Yes, that's what is great about magic filter.
Incidentally, I found another message today:

Great little patch, but I found that printing directly from .pdf files,
e.g.
gs -sDEVICE=ljet2p -dFirstPage=2 -dLastPage=10 \
-sOutputFile=<ofile> <pdf-file>
was broke. Therefore I made made the above conditionally:
/Default /Halftone resourcestatus { pop pop }
{ /Default currenthalftone /Halftone defineresource pop } ifelse
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This seems to suggest that the problem is a bug in Acroread, and not
gs, but the gs_init.ps file is a work around.
