You might try magicfilter instead of apsfilter. It's not a shell
script, so is less likely to break when the environment changes around
it. However, it does require that you configure /etc/printcap
yourself. Here's a sample entry:
lj|lp|LaserJet 5MP:\
:lp=/dev/ulpt0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lj/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lj/acct:\
:if=/usr/opt/libexec/magicfilter/ljet4m-filter:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
If you can't find a magicfilter entry for your printer - which is
likely, as it's old - you'll have to take one for a similar - meaning
handles the same data formats - and modify it slightly. I'll be glad
to help with that as well.
