I have a Canon LBP-430 and I also have a LexMark Execjet IIc that I want
to use also. They will print OK but will not feed paper. They do both
print and feed paper with WorPerfect in Linux.

Look for your the config file for your printer in /etc/magcfilter/nameh
ere , and check for the binaries it uses (or just grep it for bin).  
It turned out that the deskjet uses djscript.  I found the package by 
grepping a Contents-i386 file from the base directory the distribution, 
but grepping /var/lib/dpkg/available for the name (not path) might do 
it, too.

Then again, it could be something entirely different.  I never did get 
magicfilter working on any of the printers I tried before.

Magicfilter question?

1999-09-09 Thread John Foster
I have been trying to get my printer to operate correctly using
magicfilter and it does not have the correct filter forit to work
correctly. However the printer works great with Wordperfect for Linux.
Is there a way to replace gv and its filter with WP and its filter, or a
way to use the filter from WP maybe in apsfilter or some other printer
system?

what kind of printer?  Some, such as deskjets, require other packages for which 
magic filter has no dependencies.
