Once you have the remote printer thing working, you should be able to send it ASCII or PS and it will do the right thing. You may see stair-casing with ASCII, but at least you know it's getting there. Building the terrific apsfilter package by hand would be difficult since it depends on so many packages to do its transformations (practically any format to postscript, then to printer). Use FreeBSD's port in /usr/ports/print/apsfilter -- it does all this for you. Totally cool, and a great advertisement for the power of the ports collection.
