By way of reply, Andrzej Szydlo asked: % Could you please tell me how do you do this? Maybe forwarding some % configuration files wouldn't be a problem for you? I need to print % on on both EPSON an HP printers. Actually the apsfilter installation will ask you about your printers and handle all of the work for you. You need to install ghostscript first, it is available in ports or packages on 2.2. The make the apsfilter port and install it. Follow the installation instructions and you should have working print queues when done. Keep in mind that apsfilter will only work for locally-attached printers; remote pritners will need to be seetup similarly on whatever system they are actually attached to. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
