Hello,
      I sent this in the other day, and I am sorry for resubmitting it,
but, I am at my wits end. Is anyone else having problems with apsfilter
and/or A2PS or is it just me???  Jim Hatridge is trying to help me but,
I think we are in the same boat.

I really want to use and support Linux. I have purchased SuSE 5.1,
Infomagic dev. resource, RedHat 5, Caldera Open Linux base, and Linux
Pro 5.4. Not to mention way too many books that all seem to cost $40.00
each. The guys at the SoftPro bookstore must love me. I even tried the
Debian dist. that came on a BOOT magazine cd a while back. And of all
these I like SuSE the best. If I could only get apsfilter working
correctly I  would be HAPPY. Until I can sort out SuSE, I guess win95,
OS/2, and RedHat 5.0 are going to have to stay on my other
partitions...But, damn! I need the space.

Hello,
     I am having a problem with apsfilter and need some help. I set it
up with YAST. I'm using the eps9high driver on a nine pin panasonic dot
matrix printer.  I have also tried the epson driver and the SETUP
program for apsfilter. I can print text using :  lpr -Praw
(my-text-file), or lpr (my-postscript-file). I can also print text using
: a2ps (various command line options) (my-text-file). It seems that the
a2ps options I specified in apsfilterrc and apsfilterrc.eps9high don't
work. lpr command works with .ps files and with text files using -Praw
command line option only, -Plp and -Pascii don't work. My etc/printcap
file looks correct. Also the print button in Netscape 4.04 seems to work
fine, the fonts are too small but, I'm not worried about that right now.
I was under the impression that the "lpr" command would work with any
file type. Isn't that the purpose of apsfilter??? I seem to be able to
print anything by explicitly specifying my needs at the command line. I
can print graphics from netscape.  Am I using this incorrectly or is
something not set up right???

I would appreciate any assistance,
 Steve

S.u.S.E. 5.0 is another story. I can print from StarOffice 4.0 fine, anything else..., forget it. I have a TI MicroWriter which is HP IIp compatible btw.

With the setup option in YaST, it works perfectly. I have a HP OfficeJet printer. I use LP1 and all works great. I have loaded SuSE 5.0 & 5.1 on this box, and every time it prints just fine.
