YES : a HP 850C driver (cdjd)

not really but it works with
# lpr essai.txt, too.
and prints before  "This is a test...Hello...Hello"
after, the essai.txt is printing correctly.
the printer cannot print files to the abiword, koffice, staroffice format.
-----
with abiword, Koffice, Star-office :
only hieroglyphes characters and papers go out without stopping.
Is it an ASCII problems ?
-----
I added /etc/hosts.lpd and /etc/hosts.equiv, with the name of hosts ...
same !
if I type "lpq"
I receive this message :
--------------------------

-----------------------
So, I see :
 "  filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'closed *main::KID3'  "

It could come from the magic filter and the file : 
/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper ?

What is the function of this file, and magic filter ... ?

I'm completely lost with this impossibility to print ...

thanks
