sh /usr/local/apsfilter/SETUP [as root, okay?] That is if you installed apsfilter from the ports. It has worked magic for me. It is as easy as following the instructions , as in giving the right answer to the questions. With it I was able to print locally and remotely!!! Is there anything better than it so far? I also run 4.1- so I guess our paths are the same. Thus spake John Johnson (ioann_j@yahoo.com): > I'm trying to properly configure printing on my > FreeBSD 4.1 box.
