I have my printer printing postscript (it is a jetdirect with
postscript) and text files; however I was trying to print jpeg and png
files from the command line which came out as garbage.
It was suggested that I use apsfilter which I then installed as a package.
I ran the setup and it modified my /etc/printcap file
lp|PS;r=1200x1200;q=photo;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=:\
:rm=172.18.1.13:\
:rp=raw:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
however I can still print text but when trying to print jpeg or png it
does nothing but give me an error
apsfilter fatal error: missing pnmdepth; can't convert file type 'jpeg
image data'
and
apsfilter fatal error: missing pngtopnm; can't convert file type 'png
image data'
I looked it the packages and ports collection for these items with no luck
I then downloaded one from source and It failed to install
is there something I'm missing?
