Package: magicfilter
Version: 1.2-45
Priority: important

If a filter in a magicfilter config file is not present, magicfilter
silently fails.

This has bitten me when trying to print a pure text on a DJ 670
without the suggested package djtools installed.  The configuration
file in /etc/magicfilter/dj690c-filter has

default			filter 	/usr/bin/djscript -q 

as the last line.  Because /usr/bin/djscript was not there, lpr silently
ate all my print jobs.
