No, it's just a regular DeskJet printer. I have apsfilter installed but shouldn't the specification of the ppd file attend to the conversion? Afterall, I can readily print through LPD w/o the use of apsfilter from any of the PCs as I can specify the driver for the particuar printer when I'm setting it up from the PC side. This is so frustrating. Carl Makin wrote: > On Thu, 7 Dec 2000, Eric M Logan wrote: > > > to work from a Mac. Printing is fine locally and from PCs.
