I know I posted earlier about this; however, since then I have gathered
more information.
First, I installed LPRng and had it replace the base system. I rebooted
the system and it started up fine. However, I still cannot print. I can
print from within 'apsfilter' but that is it. The printer is attached to a
WinXP machine. I did have printing working until I updated to version 6.1.
After that, it broke.
Output of Apsfilter program:
Your choice:
** creating printcap entry for printer aps1...
creating spooldir ...
creating samba config file ...
read protect password information...
remember SETUP settings in printers apsfilterrc file...

The first entry above:

is probably where the problem is. However, I am not sure what I am suppose
to do to correct it.
