apsfilter - hpijs dependence
In all FreeBSD-8.* so far, apsfilter can't be installed because of a dependenct on hpijs, apparently through foomatic. Is there a fix? I have no HP printer, so... a workaround? I find cups to be opaque, at my level at least :-( Thanks for previous help and present hope! c...@cape.com ABHOR SECRECY - DEFEND PRIVACY ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: apsfilter setup problem
You should let apsfilter SETUP program to add the entry in printcap (you wrote that you added it yourself). It should be marked with something like: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL [...] # APS1_END - don't delete this I didn't post the whole thing - but it actually does have the apsfilter start and end entries. Apart from this, your printcap details seem good. However, the problem you described could be related to permissions. You run SETUP program as root, but you try to print as an ordinary user, I guess. Please check permissions/ownership of samba-client configuration file under /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/. # cd /usr/local/etc/apsfilter # ls -tl total 46 -rw-r- 1 root daemon416 Aug 6 19:47 SETUP.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 18750 Aug 6 19:45 perf.log lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 Aug 6 19:42 basedir - /usr/local/share/apsfi lter drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 3 17:22 aps1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 7 2006 lp drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 7 2006 brother drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 24 2006 lp2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 24 2006 aps2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 22 2003 raw2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 22 2003 raw -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel8794 Aug 22 2003 apsfilterrc I tried to print as root also, but so luck. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CUPS borked, but apsfilter just works.
Hi -- We has some CUPS questions this week (doesn't every Unix list? ;-) Anyways, CUPS keeps borking. Buggy, bugyy, buggy on FreeBSD 6.0 with a HP Deskjet 840C. And this in 2006. Apsfilter, OTOH, just works. I just had to install the ghostscript-afpl (there are also ghoscript-gnu and ghostscrip-gpl). Just wanted to share my experience with other newbies. Cheers.

Got it installed but couldn't get it to work. Ran into some real problems with what it did regarding my old Star 2410 dot-matrix printer. I shouldn't have fooled with that to begin with. I had tried to set the old Star up with CUPS, but there was no mention of a driver for it, or even the brand of printer. I know some of the Epson drivers may work with it, but in the meantime, I kept getting something sent to that printer, even after I'd removed it from printcap even rebooted. I fooled around with the files I could find in /var/spool downward, moved some into a backup directory until I could get the old printer to behave, then started putting the files back. Afterward, cups could no longer communicate with anything. I tried doing a deinstall reinstall, but the problem persisted. So, it's all gone now, uninstalled. Will try again later with the other solution I received in another post. Thanks for trying to help.

Installed apsfilter and samba on my old hp netserver so I'd be able to print to an hp 722c deskjet printer connected to an xp box. Gimp-print was also installed. Ghostscript was already installed. I ran /usr/local/share/apsfilter/./SETUP thought I had it whipped. That's where the fun started. Apparently I've missed something along the way, since the print job never gets sent to the xp box. I also found out at linuxprinting.org that the recommended hp 722c driver is pnm2ppa. There was only one section in the install script that mentioned that driver, 10) PPA printer, so I chose that. It plugs it into the setup, but when I try to print a test page, I get ERROR: additional filter 'pnm2ppa' not found. I found the driver at linuxprinting.org downloaded it. How do I go about using it? Is there a way to compile it into ghostscript? I have ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.07_14 the apsfilter setup script found it didn't complain. Do I need to install another more complete version? I know if I install ghostscript-afpl, I'll also have to recompile reinstall apsfilter with the proper make options. When I choose the more generic just plain deskjet printer driver, the script accepts it, and when I try to print a test page, there's no complaining about the driver like when I try the ppa driver. Test page is created, supposedly sent to the xp printer with even a speed, average around 950 kb/s, but I see where it only goes to stdin. I'm definitely not a programmer, but another filter, ghostscript, something, has to relay it to stdout, is that correct? So, I could use some pointers on this. If anyone interested in answering needs more info, I'll be glad to plug it in to a reply. Like smb.conf, apsfilterrc, so forth. Thanks.

Help with Apsfilter and HP 842c
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 and my printer used to print perfectly until I did a fresh install because had to change hard drives, now I can't get my printer to print using apsfilter. Everytime I print the printer starts feeding the paper and to print and then it just hangs and sometimes it turns off. I've checked the error logs and all it tells me is this: Oct 29 11:41:58 ecerejo hpijs: unable to write to output, fd=6, count=4096: m Your help would be appreciated. Thank you. ___ Promoção Yahoo!

Apsfilter problem
Since my FBSD5.4 reinstallation I can't get my HP Deskjet 842c to print. I didn't have any problems with it before I configured it exactly the way it was before and now I start printing it starts feeding the first sheet and when it starts printing the first line it just shuts down my printer. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm running the latest version of apsfilter. EJC www.only7bucks.com ___ Promoção Yahoo!

Security level problem with Samba Apsfilter print server
Recently I tried using Samba to print from the WinXP box to a FreeBSD webserver which has been using Samba 2.2.12 successfully to share folders to WinXP. It works - sort of. Problem is Samba keeps applying user level security to printer access. I thought that I could change security to share in the [printers} definition but that does not seem to work. Probably a doddle to fix for you pros..! I was able to connect printer to FBSD box, and install it as a printer in WinXP, however if I shutdown WinXP then the next time I boot WinXP my printer is inaccessible until I login to my FBSD file shares using a user id. There are lots of settings which I have tried which are currently commented out as they did not seem to be effective. Help with this would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to have to login to my webserver every time I need to print from Windows.

Re: Security level problem with Samba Apsfilter print server
Thank you for these suggestions - I may try them but to be honest think that the problem lies elsewhere. I did have this working fine more than a year ago but then changed computers, removed the printserver function and am only now coming back to re-install as a printserver (old smb.conf lost of course!) Does not FreeBSD allow a guest logon for printers and put into nobody user group, or something of that ilk. It seems to me that was what it did before. On another note, this was working perfectly with CUPS about 2 weeks ago - well almost, it actually didn't print localhost ascii files very well, they needed switches for manually shifting the margins. My solution was to create an alias for the lpr command which blew everything apart so that the lpd refused to load - finally I blew it all away and loaded apsfilter again.(that took a couple of tries too, because CUPS leaves behind a few boogeymen gotchas). Print server guest accounts anyoneone?

There are lots of settings which I have tried which are currently commented out as they did not seem to be effective. Help with this would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to have to login to my webserver every time I need to print from Windows. My guess is that your XP user name and password are different from your FreeBSD user name and password. You can try a couple of things: On your XP computer create a user account that matchs your FreeBSD account and login information and see if it pesters for the password and name; the other is create an account on your FreeBSD computer to match your XP user name and password and see what happens.

RE: Epson Stylus C86 and apsfilter
I have an Epson C84. If you don't get anything usable from the mailing list, e-mail me separately and I'll send you a writeup of how I got mine working using lpr+ghostscript+gimp print. Be aware that gimp-print really sucks the CPU when it's translating from Postscript into Epson-speak.

APSFilter/LPD printing slow
I'm running 5.3 on a Dell Precision 470 Pentium Xeon with a Gig of memory and SATA hard drives. I'm printing to a networked LaserJet 5 printer. It takes about 40 seconds between pages when printing a multi-page document. Does anyone know how to speed this up? I doubt it's an APSFilter issue since the drive stops churning once the printer starts (I think it's finished formatting the file). The printer is in the next cube from me and we are all in the same vlan on a Cisco 6500 series switch.

It may be that you are just seeing the time it takes the LJ5 to render the PostScript. The LJ5 PostScript interpreter is not very fast. Depending on your print contents, sending PCL may be quicker. 'lpc status all' or lpq can show you when the job is finished sending to the printer. The disk light is probably not a good indicator, since FreeBSD will have the spool file cached in RAM. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Epson C62 WAS: Re: apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current
Thanks for the reply. I just discovered that if I save a email to a .ps file, then open it in GhostView, it will print perfectly. It's only when printed from within Mozilla Thunderbird that it prints the .ps code. In GhostView it prints to lp, in thunderbird it prints to Postscript/default which the properties show as lpr -Plp. In GhostView it shows properties for lp as local printer and Generic UNIX LPD Print System. I guess I can save every email I want to print to a file, but I shouldn't have to, and really don't want to. Regards, Chip Malcolm Kay wrote: There is really no absolute way of detecting postscript. Most of these filters assume that if the first two characters passed are %! then it is postscript code but this character pair does not have to be at the start of PS code or even anywhere in the code -- it's just a convention that it should start with these characters; a convention that is mostly followed. So it would appear likely your e-mail application is not following the convention. Maybe a blank line precedes the traditional opening PS line. Or maybe that line is not there at all. You could perhaps print the e-mail to a file and examine in detail how it begins. With this information it should be possible to adapt the print filter script to detect the alternative PS introduction. Or even write a prefilter script that recognises the alternate PS start and converts it to a more conventional start. It might for example only need to drop a leading new line character.

Other programs see the printer configured by cups and can send jobs to, what I assume to be the queue although they don't show up in kjobViewer and I can only verify their existence with lpc status all and it shows: # lpc status all c63: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area c63 is ready and printing The light on the printer blinks but it's never printed and just goes away. I suppose that since I know nothing about cups, I'm mixing it with lpd with no knowledge of interoperability, assuming that it exists. I would love to be able to just update apsfilter with the new gimp-print drivers and use lpd but I haven't been able to make it happen. I've recompiled ghostscript, gimp-print and apsfilter multiple times from ports. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated. ed ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I must be doing something wrong using the apsfilter SETUP because after recompiling the above and then ghostscript to be sure that it wasn't the problem, I got the same printer options in in the gimp-print (ijs driver; version 4.2.1 and later) as before. That makes me think that I have done something wrong with the compiling of ghostscript or I don't understand apsfilter (which is a pretty much a given ;) because it works with gimp and not with apsfilter.

Alas, too late I see this thread :) I have written (some months ago) a guide covering the installation and configuration of CUPS+Samba with printing from Windows (2k, NT, XP) clients via the Samba/Windows Network-Interface (the one where you can download printer drivers from the print server). I've sent it to Daemonnews months ago, but they didn't reply. I'll post the links here, and although it doesn't cover apsfilter, I am sure there are a few useful hints and points in there.

Solved: FreeBSD as print server w/CUPS + samba + apsfilter
Greetings: This post is a result of 2 days of thrashing trying to get FreeBSD (4.9) to act as a print server to Win2K/XP clients. I have included links to a how-to that I wrote that includes a full install and configuration of CUPS and Samba so that local (connected to server) printers print locally, and so that that local printer(s) can then be shared (served) as network printer amongst Windows 2k/XP clients. My original post on 5/21/2004 Network printing question: apsfilter + samba over Win2k network contained what I had accomplished, so far. So... To make a long story short I have apsfilter and CUPS and Samba installed and working. The server prints to it's local (via parallel port) printer using either apsfilter or cups. Serving that locally connected printer over a Windows network (to Win2k/XP clients) is accomplished with CUPS and Samba. Here is the long version of the how-to: http://www.ajl-tech.com/index.php?option=com_frontpageItemid=1 or http://www.ajl-tech.com/index.php?option=contenttask=viewid=16Itemid=31 Here is the short version, illustrated as general procedure (with in between steps removed). This how-to assumes that the printer in question has a good driver available at www.linuxprinting.org. Step 1. Install CUPS via ports and other apps + drivers /usr/ports/print/cups /usr/ports/print/gimp-print /usr/ports/print/hpijs /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gnu /usr/ports/lang/perl5 For each of the above: make install clean Step 2. Get the proper driver (.ppd file) from www.linuxprinting.org and copy it to the /usr/local/share/cups/model directory. For example: chown root:wheel HP-LaserJet_4M-postscript.ppd chmod 644 HP-LaserJet_4M-postscript.ppd mv HP-LaserJet_4M-postscript.ppd /usr/local/share/cups/model Step 3. Get Foomatic. You'll need the following 2 files: http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-rip http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-gswrapper These files need to be moved to the right location with the right modes applied: mv foomatic-rip /usr/local/bin mv foomatic-gswrapper /usr/local/bin cd /usr/local/bin chmod 755 foomatic-rip foomatic-gswrapper Step 4. Make sure Foomatic can be reached by CUPS: Place a link in CUPS's filter directory at /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter: (note: the following is 1 line) ln -s /usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip Important!! CUPS will have installed its own versions of the commands LP lpr lpq lprm in the [/usr/local/bin] directory. While BSD installs its own (original) versions of these commands in [/usr/bin]. For sharing this a printer to others across a network via Samba, we'll need to make sure to reference the CUPS version of lp lpr lpq and lprm (in /usr/local/bin). Step 5. Configure the printer Start CUPS: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start Bring up CUPS via browser: http://localhost:631; Supply Name Location and Description. Then supply the printer model (the downloaded .ppd driver should be there as a choice). Print a test page. Congrats you should have local printing. Step 6. Configure CUPS for network print service Edit the cupsd.conf file. Make the following configs: Set your broadcast option for the LAN by setting: BrowseAddress @LOCAL Set local access privileges, find the Location / section and: Location / Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.1.* /Location This would allow anyone within the 192.168.1.* network to have access to CUPS. Step 7. Install Samba via ports Configure Samba cd /usr/ports/net/samba su Password: make install clean Start Samba: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh start Note: make sure these ports are open on the server's firewall (for samba): port 139 (tcp), port 138 (udp), and port 137 (udp) Modify the smb.conf file: Here is my working smb.conf file. global] workgroup = workgroup printcap name = cups log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY netbios name = mango dns proxy = no load printers = yes security = share os level = 20 printing = cups encrypt passwords = yes server string = Samba Server [hp4m] printable = yes comment = hp4m for local network printer = hp4m use client driver = yes lprm command = /usr/local/bin/lprm P%p %j print command = /usr/local/bin/lp -d %p -o raw %s; rm -f %s lpq command = /usr/local/bin/lpq -P%p path = /var/spool/samba writeable = yes public = yes Make sure that the guest user (nobody) is given access to the /var/spool/samba directory. Also notice that the lp, lprm, and the print command reference the path to the CUPS versions of those commands. I found this to be important. Referencing the FreeBSD (default) print commands will not get the job done! Another important entry is the use client driver = yes. If you don't include this setting, Windows 2000/XP

Why using for Samba for this? Win2K/XP can print over the ipp port, which is the native way of operation for CUPS. I have an HP LaserJet 4V attached to my FreeBSD 4-Stable PC. This printer is configured with the ipp protocol (I did configuration with the CUPS web interface; very easy to use!).

Network printing question: apsfilter + samba over Win2k network
Greetings: My server is: FreeBSD 4.9 stable and is acting as a file and (hopefully) print server for 6 local Windows 2000 workstations. Samba 2.28 is installed and serving file shares properly. Now for printer sharing... The printer is an HP 4M laserjet, and I installed apsfilter (via ports) Apsfilter SETUP came up and took me through the process of installing the printer. First I installed the HP [lp] first using auto as the default printing method. The HP's test page printed fine Next I installed the HP [aps1]using raw as print method. I wanted to use the HP as a print server so I just want the server to pass the print job to the Win2K client (is this right?). I want Win2k to handle the print job. Note: I have a Redhat-9 print server that works and it uses a CUPS + SAMBA combination. I'm using Apsfilter for FreeBSD, so I shouldn't need CUPS right? Anyway, for aps1 (raw printer), I set-up a samba printer share, here is that portion of the smb.conf: [hp4m] printable = yes comment = hp4m printer = aps1 lprm command = lprm -P%p %j print command = lpr -r -h -P %p %s lpq command = lpq -P%p path = /var/spool/lpd/aps1 public = yes writeable = yes use client driver = yes PROBLEM: I'm able to see the printer from the Win2k client accoss the network, Windows 2k prompts for a driver and I load the driver. Windows reports that the printer is ready, however when I try to print a test page, nothing happens. This is my first foray into network printing with FreeBSD, and I'm still learning may way around this OS. So any pointers or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michael Chinn For reference, here is the /etc/printcap file: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL lp|PS;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this # APS2_BEGIN:printer2 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer2 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL aps1|PS;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=raw:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/aps1:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/aps1/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/aps1/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sf:\ :sh: # APS2_END - don't delete this From the smb.conf: [hp4m] printable = yes comment = hp4m printer = aps1 lprm command = lprm -P%p %j print command = lpr -r -h -P %p %s lpq command = lpq -P%p path = /var/spool/lpd/aps1 public = yes writeable = yes use client driver = yes ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SOLVED: apsfilter and margins
Here's a little howto for those of you who are having problems with faulty margins with apsfilter. I'm personally using a Brother HL-1440, but the general idea still applies to all printers. 1) Edit the file /usr/local/share/gho.stscript/7.07/lib/align.ps and add %! on a line by itself, before anything else. 2) type lpr /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib/align.ps and you will get a page that has two lines, intersecting in the lower left corner. 3) Follow the instructions on the page that prints to compute the numbers you need to enter. 4) Create a file called /etc/margins.ps that contains the following: %! /.HWMargins [18 0 18 0] /Margins [0 -90] setpagedevice Your numbers will vary from mine. This is for a Brother HL-1440 Laser printer. (The bottom margin on mine is very low on the page, but I don't loose any text. Changing the bottom value seems to cut off text.) Make certain that this file is world readable. #chmod a+r /etc/margins.ps 5) Edit the file /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/apsfilterrc and find the line near the bottom containing PS_INIT (currently commented out). 6) Uncomment the line and change it to read: PS_INIT=/etc/margins.ps 7) Print a test page! Play with those numbers in the /etc/margins.ps file until you get the margins you're looking for. You do not need to restart lpd in order for changes to take effect.

hello.. I am using FreeBSD as my desktop. I'm looking for help to print as a user from KDE. I can generate a test print from Apsfilter just fine in the shell using the setup script.

CUPS vs. apsfilter--newbie setup problems
I'm trying to get my 4.8-running laptop hooked up to some printers, and I'm having trouble getting it configured with either CUPS or apsfilter (as someone here had recommended). I've tried to look over the docs, and search through here, but am still stumped for what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm also not clear on why these systems don't interoperate, or, rather, why an entry in /etc/printcap generated from apsfilter doesn't show up in CUPS. It would be nice if you could use these together. First, I was able to configure printing on a local USB printer with each system, though apsfilter has a vastly greater number of drivers available. Is there a way to get CUPS to read these drivers, or to separately install ones that it can handle? I'm not able to get either one to work with a networked printer. With CUPS, I can get it to the point where I can print a test page, by choosing the device AppSocket/HP Jet Direct (though it's not a Jet Direct printer, just a regular TCP/IP interface) and using a device URI of socket://1.2.3.4:9100/ , but I can't get anything else to print on this printer. I wasn't able to get it to print even a test page by using any lpd combination I could come up with. With apsfilter, I can't get it set up at all; anything I try gives lpr: unable to print file: client-error-not-found when I try to do a test page. Assuming I ever do manage to get this configured, is there a way to choose printers from within apps? In Mozilla, even with several (dummy) printers entered, the only option for Printer is PostScript/Default, and from, say, Emacs, there's just the various print options. Do I have to choose this from the command line outside of the apps? Thanks very much.

Hi. I've got printing set up and I have been able to generate the test print from 5.0-CURRENT to my Laserjet 2200dse via USB cabling. My wife wants to get her Lexmark 3200 off of her desk and somewhere else. So, I migrated my Laserjet to USB and I'm planning to plug her printer into the parallel port. Apsfilter configures fine for the laserjet but I'm having problems with the Lexmark 3200 (color inkjet). When I try to configure apsfilter to talk to the Lexmark, I'm told that I do not have support for the 3200 compiled into ghostscript. I upgraded the port to ghostscript-gnu-7.05_5. I selected all available printers (I did not see the Lexmark 3200 in the list) and ghostscript installed without complaining. I reattempted the Lexmark configuration and it still failed saying I did not have the Lexmark driver. I'm not that familiar with ghostscript. Has anybody seen this before?

in the /var/spool/lpd/raw error log.
which, if I understand the script, seems to be related to there
being no file to delete after the print attempt.
It started as a working system with a small bug in samba on FreeBSD 4.3S.
I reinstalled samba. Then I reinstalled apsfilter.
Now I have upgraded to 4.8S. Then I reinstalled both samba and apsfilter.
I have posts both on FreeBSD and apsfilter lists.
One problem is the lack of information available available from the
the logs.

In [EMAIL PROTECTED], David Banning [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: I cannot for the life of me get aspfilter working. You might try magicfilter instead of apsfilter. It's not a shell script, so is less likely to break when the environment changes around it. However, it does require that you configure /etc/printcap yourself. Here's a sample entry: lj|lp|LaserJet 5MP:\ :lp=/dev/ulpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lj/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lj/acct:\ :if=/usr/opt/libexec/magicfilter/ljet4m-filter:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: If you can't find a magicfilter entry for your printer - which is likely, as it's old - you'll have to take one for a similar - meaning handles the same data formats - and modify it slightly.

Samsung ML-1210 apsfilter
Has anyone managed to get the printer working with apsfilter? I know it needs the gdi ghostscript driver which I have confirmed is installed on my system. % gs -h | grep gdi lj5gray pj pjxl pjxl300 pxlmono pxlcolor pcl3 hpdj ijs npdl rpdl gdi However I can't find where I should select this driver in apsfilter. I have tried the PS (option 1) driver, but nothing happend. I have also tried the PSgs (options 2) driver, the printer starts but no output appears, and under option 3 I can't find the gdi driver. I can print to the command line fine using % cat /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.05/examples/snowflak.ps | gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -sDEVICE=gdi -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -r600 -sOutputFile=- - | cat /dev/unlpt0 Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this printer working?

Re: configure the printer (II) and apsfilter
Looking at the date the source file was last modified, which is in year
2000, I don't think you should worry about this if you're using FreeBSD
4.7-STABLE which is the latest version at the moment. But if the advanced
features don't work while you suspect it should, then this is worth doing,
otherwise, I would say if it's not broken, don't fix it :).

What you've suggested as what the /etc/printcap entry that should have been inserted by apsfilter is news to me. I've been posting that very same /etc/printcap entry for over a week, and no-one's said anything about it. In fact, Michael, every single respondent, said that its fine. Well, the lp=/dev/null was created only with some help by you, since the apsfilter setup can't know which device to talk to. So during the setup (in interface setup) you must've entered /dev/null as the target device, but it should rather be /dev/lp0 or something like that.
