You didn't mention any information in your printer log file. I see that you are using a "magic filter". This is another way of saying black box. What kind of print job does the iBook send? Usually, linux doesn't filter jobs for windows clients, but simply sends them straight through to the printer, assuming that the client has already filtered the job. That is, they don't try to filter them.
Turn off the printer, print a job from the iBook, and look in sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser for files beginning with ldf or some similar prefix. That should be your print job, as it was sent to lpd. Use "file" to see the format that has been sent by the iBook. If it is data, your "magic filter" may not try to do anything with it. Are you sure your iBook client is using this queue?
