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. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
