Indeed there are two different filters for hp's in apsfilter and they have very similar names: hpdj and some other thing like this. One of them will print black&white by default, but also can do colors by some cryptical command. The other one prints colors by default. You also can have a look at apsfilter's handbook on www.apsfilter.org or subscribe to their mailing list. They are quite nice and helpful to everybody.
