This is what I get when I run magicfilterconf. You will have to supply the following items for each printer to be installed (example values in parentheses): - its short name, its full name and the alias (hpjlet4, HP LaserJet 4,lj) - the device where the printer is attached (/dev/lp1) - and the input filter you want to use (ljet4m) Printer #1: ------------ Full name, `done' when done [HP Laserjet 4L ]: ^^^^ Typing done when I was through has always worked.
