FWIW I have an HP 610C but I don't use apsfilter, just ghostscript. To
make it print from Netscape (or any PS stuff) add this to
/etc/printcap (either make it the default ``lp'' entry or set the
PRINTER envar to ``hpdj''):
hpdj|deskjet|Hewlett Packard DeskJet 610C:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/hpif:
The input filter, /usr/local/libexec/hpif, is this:
#!/bin/sh
#
# hpif - Simple text input filter for lpd for HP-PCL based printers
# Installed in /usr/local/libexec/hpif
#
# Simply copies stdin to stdout. Ignores all filter arguments.
# Tells printer to treat LF as CR+LF. Ejects the page when done.
# printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
# exit 2
#
# Read first two characters of the file
#
read first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
#
# It is PostScript; use Ghostscript to scan-convert and print it.
#
# Note that PostScript files are actually interpreted programs,
# and those programs are allowed to write to stdout, which will
# mess up the printed output. So, we redirect stdout to stderr
# and then make descriptor 3 go to stdout, and have Ghostscript
# write its output there. Exercise for the clever reader:
# capture the stderr output from Ghostscript and mail it back to
# the user originating the print job.
#
exec 3>&1 1>&2
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -q \
-sDEVICE=cdj550 -sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - && exit 0
else
#
# Plain text or HP/PCL, so just print it directly; print a form
# at the end to eject the last page.
#
printf "\033&k2G" && echo $first_line && cat && \
printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
fi
exit 2

If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows,
am I entitled to my money back?
