Indeed there are two different filters for hp's in apsfilter
and they have very similar names: hpdj and some other thing
like this. One of them will print black&white by default,
but also can do colors by some cryptical command. The other
one prints colors by default.
You also can have a look at apsfilter's handbook on
www.apsfilter.org or subscribe to their mailing list. They
are quite nice and helpful to everybody.
