I solved that problem last night, but I'm not sure how.  I was able to 
print from within Abiword, but Firefox would core-dump.  I ended up 
doing two things, one of which apparently fixed the problem.  First, 
when I ran apsfilter, I made sure a test page printed - then chose to 
add the new printer definition to my printcap file (before exiting 
SETUP).  Second, in the printcap file, I changed the first line from 
"ps|lp|aps1..." to "lp|ps|aps1..." - since I read somewhere that "lp" 
was the real name for the printer.  Now I can print.
