Magicfilter is supposed to use "file" to determine its file type and convert it to PCL that the HP LJ can use.
I just installed linux on the iBook and the printing works fine. I commented out the "if=/usr/share/masterfilter" line in the ibook and the lpr send raw files over to the print server, which then converted them properly for the printer. So, it appears now that the problem lies in the Mac OSX lpr printing. I could not find anything on Mac OSX print configuration. But is there a way in the lprng to ensure that the spool file pass through the filter? There is no OSX driver for LJ 1100. Thanks again.
