DVI files start with the bytes \367\002, which is how magicfilter
identifies them. However, the first two bytes you send to
ljet3-filter are "tr", so it assumes you're sending plain text. As
I've discovered myself, DVI's don't print very well this way.
Something like the following should work better. Also, are you sure
you want to do CR/LF translation in this case? ljet3-filter doesn't.
The "$@" passes on the options from lpd to magicfilter, as documented
at the top of magicfilter(8).
#!/bin/sh -x
(
echo translate
echo "print -"
/usr/sbin/ljet3-filter "$@"
) | /usr/bin/smbclient '\\MAIN\HPLIII' -N -P > /var/log/smb-print.log
