Before going for all these detailed solutions, let me say that my HP 6L works fine with magicfilter. According to my printcap, I used hplj4. If the 6L person still has problems with that, we may want to do version checking to see what differs. I think I started using this printer in bo and I'm up to a semi out of date snapshot of slink (I need to check the archives to see if the x problems finally got fixed).
