[-- Attachment #1 --] I found apsfilter and installed it. In setup i configures my S300 as an S800. linuxprinting.org said that's the best driver to use. printer on /dev/ulpt0. Reslution 600x600. I still cannot print. Attached is /etc/printcap. What changes do i need to make? i am printing w/ LPR (I have also tried Gerenic Unix LPD).
