I installed apsfilter with 'make BATCH=yes APSFILTER_ALL=yes install' On running SETUP script and selecting the hpjis driver the script informs me that my installation of ghostscript does not support inclide this driver. I browsed through the Makefile in print/ghostscript-gnu and cannot find any mention of ijs. I KNOW there is support there somewhere, because this printer worked fine when it was attached to my FreeBSD box. (Until CUPS became so broken as to be useless.) Any hints on how to configure apsfilter for use with an HP DeskJet 3650? David -- Sure God created the world in only six days, but He didn't have an established user-base.
