I don't know what the M in the 5M stnds for. We have both 4L and a 5L, and both work fine with magicfilter. I mainly use it for postscript, though. Have you checked the cti-ifhp package? I don't use it, but it should help in this case. In any case, if what you describe is something like this that goes on and on [sorry :D] you may want to read the Printing-HOWTO. Or reconfigure magicfilter to work as a ljet4m. So, as root, try /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig. The program that runs is self-explanatory... -- Jose L Gomez Dans PhD student Radar & Communications Group Department of Electronic Engineering University of Sheffield UK
