I had a nifty setup with an old computer running as my FreeBSD file and pri=
nt server. Worked so good I decided to update the computer. But since most =
computers no longer come with parallel port for printing I'm forced to use =
the USB feature on my Brother HL-2040 printer.

In the previous setup I used apsfilter to install the proper filter and ent=
ries for /etc/printcap. But alas, apsfilter won't install right now because=
 the hpijs port is broken. Short of this, can anyone recommend a way around=
 this. I tried cups but I could not get it to work even though it found the=
 printer on ulpt0:.=0A=0A=0A
