Re: DEBIAN 2.2: LOCAL PRINTER INSTALLATION
Thanks for the advices, I can print now ASCII and Postscript with apsfilter and LPRng
packages.
Apsfilter configuration setting was proposed during the installation by the Debian
tool: dselect.
I tried first to use the magicfilter package but I missed the first time to activate
properly the configuration and I was not given a second chance to run the
configuration even after removing and installing again the package.
