I used magicfilterconfig to set up /etc/printcap as follows: lp|PodLaser|PodLaser:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PodLaser:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/hl1250-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: PodLaserPS|postscript:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PodLaserPS:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/ps600-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: but "lpr -P PodLaserPS foo.ps" wouldn't work until I added the printer through the CUPS web interface too. Now it works. The danger of simultaneous printing is there but not too high: one Windows machine also prints to it through Samba (using the Brother Windows drivers).
