Got messages that lpd "cannot execv /usr/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-cdj670--auto-color", which was where the if: in /etc/printcap pointed. That file did not exist, however /usr/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-cdj670-mono-auto-color DOES exist, so I inserted the word "mono" into the if: address in the /etc/printcap that apsfilter created. Now, upon using the lpr command, the printer makes a noise as though it's about to print, but nothing happens except that the light on it flashes forever - even through a reboot. /var/spool/lpd/cdj670--auto-color/log contains a couple of messages that look like: a2ps : -Xmono : unknown paper format or ^........missing paper format I really need some help deciphering what's wrong here. Apparently I made a poor selection curing the instalation process. After rebooting with another Operating System, when I printed a page out, the printer first kicked out a "staggered " error message about unknown paper size and "stack underflow". This was apparently still in the printer's buffer. Please, can you help me? PB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
