Not sure about apsfilter stuff, but the following script works for me, on a HP Deskjet 880C, to get rid of the staircase effect: #!/bin/sh printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0 exit 2 Refer to this in /etc/printcap, where the above script is in /usr/local/libexec/lpfilter: lp|local line printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter: rotan.
