I've changed 'apsfilterrc' to read 1n (it was 2n), but this has not
changed the fact that a full page of text is printing in just the top
left quarter of a page of paper for me. It may be bigger than before by
a factor of two, but it's still not there yet.

Has anyone else gotten an HP 850C (or 855C) to run with SuSE, and if so,
can you provide some pointers.
