(I apologise if this pops-up twice but it seems that sending to questions@ -- and not to freebsd-questions@ -- doesn't work for me.)

Hello David, You should let apsfilter SETUP program to add the entry in printcap (you wrote that you added it yourself). It should be marked with something like: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL [...] # APS1_END - don't delete this Apart from this, your printcap details seem good. However, the problem you described could be related to permissions. You run SETUP program as root, but you try to print as an ordinary user, I guess. Please check permissions/ownership of samba-client configuration file under /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/. Nikola Le=C4=8Di=C4=87
