Hi, everybody!

I'm *still* having a really hard time with this printer.  I have apsfilter,
gs_both (along with all includes), and lprng installed, and I've set my
NetExpress Pro card to be an SMB device.  I can `lpr' any plain text file,
print from pine, pico, and other console applications.  I cannot, however,
print from any application that requires GS to filter the output.  If I try, I
get a bunch of empty pages and some jibberish in between.

I used YaST to configure a Samba Printer (lj5mono, //hpserver/lj_5).  This is
the printcap that YaST made for me:

### BEGIN apsfilter: ### lj5mono letter mono 600 ###
#   Warning: Configured for apsfilter, do not edit the labels!
#            apsfilter setup Thu Jan 13 09:40:15 CST 2000

        :la@:mx#0:\
        :tr=:cl:sh:sf:
#
### END   apsfilter: ### lj5mono letter mono 600 ###

At this point, my only problem is getting GS to feed printable data.  Any
ideas? :]  /etc/apsfilterrc looks okay, so is apsfilter.lj5mono. Is there
another config file I'm missing?
