I'm having a hard time printing and decided to use
dselect to load apsfilter.
When dselect ran the configuration for apsfilter I noticed
that several programs apsfilter used were not there.
g3cut
html2ps
pnmtolps
ras2ps
recode
bunzip
compress
melt
pack
Of this list, html2ps and recode I found on the potato directories and
installed them. The rest, I'm not sure about. I couldn't find them.
It occured to me that we should make suggested selections of these other
programs when people install apsfilter. In-fact, I would have a tendency
to make them actual dependency's of apsfilter. There was quite a list of
them
and these were the only ones missing.
It also occured to me, either I don't know how to search for a program by
name
using dselect or there is not feature to search for a program by name using
dselect.
Finally, I wonder why these other software packages aren't in potato?
I am assuming they are not as I didn't find them in 2 passes.
Yet, this is only part of my current printing problem.
I'm still having poor luck getting an ungarbled page from my printer.
Tommorrow I think I will change some bios settings and see if that helps.
Thanks
Charlie
