Not much info here. Did you go through the apsfilter config process?
That should have created/modified (and backed up) your printcap and the
filters. It may also be that the default (usually lp) works in raw mode
rather than being filtered. Please post your /etc/printcap.
My experience installing apsfilter was very pleasant and without hitch.
In my own case, a Panasonic dot-matrix, print commands are:
lpr -Praw foo.txt #for text, the base printer mode. "raw"
#mode bypasses all filters and sends the file
#directly to the printer. *Don't* do this
#with a 30K/page ps file. A real PITA :)
pr foo.txt | lpr -Praw #It's often handy to paginate plain text
#files before sending to the printer
lpr -Ppandot foo.ps #for ps &c., it converts anything to ps, then
#routes it to the gs printer drivers.
You may want to re-run /usr/share/apsfilter/SETUP or
/user/sbin/apsfilterconfig (as root) just to be sure that everything is
configured correctly.
