Thanks for the advices, I can print now ASCII and Postscript with apsfilter and LPRng packages.
Apsfilter configuration setting was proposed during the installation by the Debian tool: dselect. I tried first to use the magicfilter package but I missed the first time to activate properly the configuration and I was not given a second chance to run the configuration even after removing and installing again the package.
