    I've tried both magicfilter and apsfilter for printing in kernel 2.6.
    Both will only print plain text; the filters don't work on html or jpeg
    files, for example. Magicfilter is fine in kernel 2.4.

    In the log file I get:

            /etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter: Interrupted system call

    The best solution I've found is to convert such files to ps form and
    then print them, but this defeats the idea of an automatic filter.
    Searching on google hasn't produced anything useful.

    Has anyone had better luck with this?

    Anthony
