Heyya,

sorry i dont use the exact same filter as yourself for my deskjet, but
i use a filter called apsfilter and it works just fine and is pretty easy to 
install and config. It also alows alot of configuration options if you
need them.

you can find it on sunsite.unc.edu or sunsite.edu.au

or from a readme i found :

(2) Here we'll put only final releases

        ftp server :    ftp.Germany.EU.net      
        directory  :    pub/os/Linux/Local.EUnet/People/akl
        directory  :    pub/os/Linux/Incoming.EUnet

ftp the newest release from there. The current naming scheme for 
apsfilter releases is:          aps-Release.tgz

good luck.
