Dear Users,

I'm having trouble getting WordPerfect 8 to print correctly. I've
checked the docs and the archives to no avail.

The problem is that whenever I send a file to the printer -- an HP
LaserJetIIIp -- all I get is what looks like plain ASCII output.

I am running:

WP8 - from the GUILG00.GZ file
Linux `emulation' - i.e. the Linux base system
apsfilter-5.4.2


I've selected the LJIIIp driver is the printer setup dialogue in WP8.


I've set the fontpaths to the WP fonts in my `.xinitrc' and also in
`/etc/XF86Config' - ie. 

      xset +fp  /usr/local/lib/corel/shlib10/fonts &
      xset +fp  /usr/local/lib/corel/shlib10 &

and,

      FontPath   "/usr/local/lib/corel/shlib10"
      FontPath   "/usr/local/lib/corel/shlib10/fonts"


The printcommand in WP8 is set to: `lpr -Plp <f>'


And finally, my `/etc/printcap' looks like this:

lp|aps1-ljet3-a4-auto-300x300|Printer1 ljet3 a4 auto 300x300:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-ljet3-a4-auto-300x300:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-ljet3-a4-auto-300x300/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-ljet3-a4-auto-300x300/acct:\
    :if=/usr/local/apsfilter/filter/aps1-ljet3-a4-auto-300x300:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:
raw|aps2-ljet3-a4-raw|Printer1 ljet3 a4 raw:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-ljet3-a4-raw:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-ljet3-a4-raw/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/printer1-ljet3-a4-raw/acct:\
    :if=/usr/local/apsfilter/filter/aps2-ljet3-a4-raw:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sf:\
    :sh:


What on earth could the problem be?

Setting up AbiWord was simplicity itself compared with this.

Yours in expectation,
