This means - and this is really bad news - that apsfilter (as input filter) works only, if the printer, you want to print on, is locally on that machine, where you installed apsfilter! So don't install apsfilter on a machine, where no printer is directly connected !!!! This means also, that apsfilter won't work with those magic print boxes (Net Cube, or such), that are used to connect a printer somewhere in your office to the network." Not much help to you sorry :-( But thats what it says.
