Re: printing to a windows printer
Hello!
Don't know how to create the trash bin either (because I'm also quite new to
Linux) but I suggest to you to use apsfilter instead of magicfilter. The
newest versions have a *very* good setup script or program or whatever, you
only have to insert the server and printer name and it will be ok... I only
don't know if these new versions are already packaged into .debs, I'm using
a generic tar.gz. Indeed, it seems to me like apsfilter was once installed
on your system and the config is still from that time, but the
apsfilter-scripts are missing. So, a reinstall and reconfigure of apsfilter
should help.
