Okay., I've changed this as you've suggested:
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
hp845c|ijs/DESKJET_845;r=600x300;q=high;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp845c:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/hp845c/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/hp845c/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
$
Changed permissions on apsfilterrc, and restarted lpd:
# chmod 644 /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/hp845c/apsfilterrc
# lpc restart all
hp845c:
no daemon to abort
printing enabled
daemon restarted
# ps waux | grep lpd
root 156 0.0 0.2 976 664 ?? Ss 10:27AM 0:00.01
/usr/sbin/lpd -l
#
Sent print job from command line:
$ lpr -Php845c test
$
Nothing going on at the printer.., Checking the queue:
$ lpc status all
hp845c:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
waiting for hp845c to become ready (offline?)
$
Now this I've not seen before.., but where's the job gone?:
# ps waux | grep -i lpd
root 156 0.0 0.2 976 664 ?? Is 10:27AM 0:00.01
/usr/sbin/lpd -l
root 74482 0.0 0.2 976 696 ?? S 12:54PM 0:00.01
/usr/sbin/lpd -l
#
PID 74482 might well be that job..,
Checking spool logs:
$ ls -l /var/spool/lpd/hp845c/

This isn't working, no noises at the printer, no traffic on the switch,
nothing this ain't happening.., killing print jobs
$ lprm -Php845c -
dfA002Demon.vickiandstacey.com dequeued
cfA002Demon.vickiandstacey.com dequeued

Let me know what more I could do for you, please.
