Re: Trouble printing on Woody
The principal problem is that there was no file named filter. This worked on a
potato box but not on a woody box. I have a fix. I installed magicfilter.
Printing works but is VERY slow. Do you know whether apsfilter is faster?
I have other printing problems now. On my home machine, with a local printer,
I can't get lprng to recognize any of the devices
/dev/lp0
/dev/lp1
/dev/lp2
I can list these and, prior to switching to testing, printing worked just fine.
I'm putting the latter problem in a separate message (plea) because I'm
completely hosed at home.
