Personally, I prefer magicfilter to apsfilter - it's a bit easier to make do what I want, and not nearly as complicated. In either case, it depends on ghostscript to actually render for the printer. The current version doesn't seem to have support for any 700 seris deskjets. If you know your printer emulates some other hp printer, install the ghostscript port, and do "gs --help | grep dj" to get a list of supported deskjets. The other possibility is that your printer is a winprinter, meaning the language it talks is proprietary, and it won't work with FreeBSD. =09<mike > ehayden@sdcpa.com schrieb: > >=20 > > I am using FBSD 4.0 and am having problems getting my HP Deskjet 72= 0c to > > work.
