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.

I got a fortune cookie that said, "To remember is to understand." I have never 
forgotten it. A good judge remembers what it was like to be a lawyer. A good 
editor remembers being a writer. A good parent remembers what it was like to
