Philipp, Thanks for the reply. I installed apsfilter (which automatically installed ghostscript and several other print utilities and fonts). It took more than 2 hours to download (cable modem at 50KBps) and compile on my 200Mhz AMD computer running FBSD4.1.1R and KDE destop. Now that it's installed, what do I do to print? I brought up the KDE word processor or notepad program, but my Lexmark did nothing.
