I recently blatherd:

By way of reply, Andrzej Szydlo asked:
 % Could you please tell me how do you do this? Maybe forwarding some
 % configuration files wouldn't be a problem for you? I need to print
 % on on both EPSON an HP printers.

Actually the apsfilter installation will ask you about your printers
and handle all of the work for you.  You need to install ghostscript
first, it is available in ports or packages on 2.2.  The make the
apsfilter port and install it.  Follow the installation instructions
and you should have working print queues when done.

Keep in mind that apsfilter will only work for locally-attached
printers; remote pritners will need to be seetup similarly on 
whatever system they are actually attached to.
