The problem is coming from the /etc/magicfilter/dj500-filter script. I had a look at mine, and the last line is: default filter /usr/bin/djscript -q which is the command which you don't have. This is for printing normal text files. Above this it suggests using something else if you don't have djscript. I don't have djscript myself, so what I have in /etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter (which is the script which I use for my printer is: default cat \eE\e&k2G\e(0N \eE This works for me (and I guess does exactly cat <text> >/dev/lp<x> which you previously mentioned was working. I suggest you try commenting out the old 'default' line in your dj500-filter, and replacing it with this.
HTH Rich PS. anyone know where to get djscript from, or if it is worth using?
