Fixed my printing problem.

As it turned out the garbled stuff i was getting was the cover page, but the
print job never came.

the man page for magic filter said to put #! /usr/local/bin/magicfilter at the
top of /etc/printcap.  I thought the # was a bit wierd as it denotes a commnet.
 But being a newbie, I thought it being coupled with ! meant something
different.  I got rid of the # and the ! and the space and it works.  here is
my printcap file:
