I print via remote printer (printer on USB port of DSL router). >From what I see you are using a BETA version of FreeBSD 5.3. If all further troubleshooting fails - see below - I would suggest as strategy to upgrade to 5.3-STABLE via cvsup and do the usual make buildworld/installworld + new kernel after reading src/UPDATING. Updating with mergemaster should be done as well. With the few informations provided nobody can tell, where something fails on your system. What could be done is to break the printing process into several steps that might give an idea where something fails. 1. use aps2file to let apsfilter run and print the result to stdout (into a file). i.e.: aps2file file_2_print > printresult See apsfilter handbook: http://www.apsfilter.org/docs/apsfilter-handbook-current.html#usage_file 2. cat printresult > /dev/You_Print_Device If apsfilter fails at 1 you could try apsfilter debugging See handbook: http://www.apsfilter.org/docs/apsfilter-handbook-current.html#help_you_bug Good luck Andreas /// -- Andreas Klemm - Powered by FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT Need a magic printfilter today ? -> http://www.apsfilter.org/
