Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried your filter (most times by doing it manually), but I can't get
it working. I tried "ijs" and "stp" (Gimp-print), and many Cxx printer
versions.

BTW the script you are using is very similar (if not equal) to the
command "apsfilter" calls (that is "gs") at the end.

I only get some "<<?<??<??" like characters (left aligned), was that
your problem?

Also it isn't a connection problem: I tried both USB and Parallel
connections.

Do you know about anything else I can do?

Best Regards,
Ale
