Just a thought, there is no printer assigned in the above printcap,
you have lp=/dev/null?? And this works using smbclient? Am I missing
something here??

:if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet2p-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
Note the :lp=/dev/lp0 if for 2.2.x kernels. If you are using 2.0.x it
would be :lp=/dev/lp1
