How did you print the test page?? Was this before you installed apsfilter?? Try: # lptest 20 5 | lpr What happens?? Any log messages?? >I hear the hard drive spinning for a bit (queueing things up) but nothing >happens. No lpd errors, and lpq shows "no entries." I had that problem, as it turns out, ghostscript couldn't find a lib file. So make sure that ghostscript is installed properly, and your spool directories are correct in etc/printcap. After making any changes, run SETUP in apsfilter again. If that doesn't work, try setting the debugging in apsfilter by decommenting set-x in /usr/local/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter then check the log. This is discussed in the document TROUBLESHOOTING in usr/local/share/doc/apsfilter. That's how I caught my ghostscript problem.
