Where does a printer filter go?

I was too lazy to dig up the cd's that came with the printers and
reinstall them, so I looked in my /etc/cups directory from my old
debian unstable system and copied the files that looked like they
described my printers.  

The networked Brother seems to be working fine, but the Samsung
attached to the parallel port is complaining:

  Filter "ppmtospl2" for printer "lp1" not available: No such file or
directory

The only ppmtosp12 I can find on my old drive is in the
/etc/cups/filter directory, which I did copy.  (And subsequently
restarted cupsys.)

So where is Ubuntu Dapper looking for it and not finding it?
