Hi, All you guys are telling me that read shit manual which confuse me more than any handbook I have read it. Off course I have read it many times; this shit doesnn't explain me straight forward. all of you tell me find "apsfilter" file. I load it ports but there is not apsfilter file. where can I find this file? How can I install it? I am not the guru of freebsd as you people. I am just student who want to learn about the freebsd. Can you Can you please tell me what and how am I fix this problem of configuring the printer and mcopy commands? You people aren't tell me in detail. Yes, I have four CDs of freebsd 3.4 but how do use 2, 3, 4 CDs? There is one cd has ports packages and how can I install that package into the system? Thank you for your help >Read the part of the handbook that discusses fixing the stair-step effect. >Another option (recommended!) would be to use a better input filter for >printing. I recommend using 'apsfilter'. It's in the ports collection >(hopefully you installed the ports). You can find it in the ports like >this: > >cd /usr/ports && make search key=apsfilter > >Apsfilter can handle many file types (postscript, etc.) and print them out >properly. > >Yon Thulung_rai wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > I have reinstall 3.4 freebsd on my pc.
