Hi,

I'm trying to print an ASCII file to an HP Laserjet 5L.  Plain postscript
printing seems to work ok-- if I use a2ps to convert the text file to ps,
it prints fine.  But when I simply use "lpr somefile", it just prints a
page with

Error: /typecheck in --closefile
				Operand Stack:
						--nostringval-- ()
								Execution

Here's the relevant portion of /etc/princap; I think apsfilter is at least
being called, but it's not doing it's job right.

# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
lp|Printer1 auto:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:
raw1|Printer1 raw:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw1:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/raw1/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/raw1/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sf:\
    :sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this


Thanks
