If it still isn't working try setting the debugging in apsfilter by decommenting set-x in /usr/local/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter then check the log. This is discussed in the document TROUBLESHOOTING in usr/local/share/doc/apsfilter Also make sure that ghostscript is installed, the device (the printer port) is set (eg. # ./MAKEDEV lpt0), your spool directories are correct in etc/printcap, and that lpd is running. lpd is not set to run with the default installation. You need to change /etc/rc.conf so that lpd_enable="YES" or if you are logged on as root type # lpd whenever you want to start it. My problem is that gostscript won't run. Apparently it is looking for libXaw.so.6 in usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 , but it's in usr/compat/linux/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib , and I don't know how to make it look there instead. Any ideas??
