I can print now. I am not completely sure what I did to fix the problem -- I reran magicfilterconfig, I reinstalled gs, and I changed the printer defined by magicfilter from DeskJet 500C to plain DeskJet 500.
I still maintain that the docs for *nix printing are among the worst I've ever seen . . . and I have learned IBM's JCL from the original IBM manuals.
