It sounds and looks as though you have not selected the correct driver for
your printer. It looks like you are using the LaserJet driver. And the
driver that appears to support the LJ6 family is the lj5mono. You will need
to build the lj5mono driver into your gs tools and then configure your
apsfilter with that driver.

Subject: Configuring a local printer
Hi!
I am having trouble with installing a HP LaserJet 6L on my
4.4-RELEASE system. I've read the docs but without any luck.
To configure the system I have installed apsfilter and used its SETUP
script.
This is my printcap file:
lp|ps|lj|laserjet;r=600x600;q=medium;c=gray;p=a4;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
The problem is that when I'm running "lpr <file>" to print
something, the printer keeps printing "white" papers and
can only be stoped by stopping the power supply for it.
Using "echo hello > /dev/lpt0" works without any problems.
Have I missed something in the configuration of the printer?
Best Regards,
Tor Stormwall
