You might want to wait to hear from 'Leif Neland', here's what my '/etc/printcap' says:

	# Sample remote printer.  The physical printer is on machine "lphost".
	# NB: you cannot perform any kind of local filtering directly.  If
	# you need local filters (e.g. LF -> CR-LF conversion for HP printers),
	# create a filter script that recursively calls lpd with another -P
	# argument after filtering.

So it's probably possible to fit apsfilter into the above described scenario.  I'd love to
have the ability to send apsfilter to JetDirect cards, but I haven't had the time to
dedicate to figuring this one out.  Hopefully Leif Neland or someone out there has an
example printcap that uses apsfilter.  I had always just assumed apsfilter couldn't work
w/ JetDirect cards.

Bogus!  Hmph, some "upgrade" I got, eh?  I think I'll revert back to the
old version... if I can find it!
