It works!! It works!! It works!!
First, I'd like to take this opportunity to personally and publically
thank those who took the time to help me on this one! (I'm sorry if I
missed anyone...so "thank you" all...)
Thanks go to:

What'd I do to fix it? Glad you asked!
First, I took 10-12 hours away from the computer and spent that time
with my family.
Second, I realized that *I* must have been making it harder than it
needed to be.
Third, I remembered that I *was* using Debian afterall and I should be
able to install the LPRng
package with little or no modification, so I purged (the package, not my
stomach...I wasn't *that* upset...) and re-installed the latest LPRng
package (from Incoming at the time).
Finally, I edited /etc/printcap to look like this:
lp|HP LaserJet 5L
:lp=
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:af=/var/log/lp-acct
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs
:if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4l-filter
:pl#60
:pw#80
:pc#150
:mx#0
:sh
Note the lack of ":\"'s at the ends of the lines. This is how LPRng
makes 'em. Even though the printcap(8) manpage claims they can be used
for backward compatibility, don't use 'em. Also,
somewhere I'm *sure* I read that the "lp=" *must* point to the host,
it's obviouslly not needed.
I'm not sure about "pl" "pw" "pc" "mx" or "sh" but I'm *not* touching a
working configuration...
Way too easy!
Thanks for being patient with me!!!
Chuck
