I've just installed apsfilter on the latest FreeBSD 5.3 to print with my
epson stylus color 640 (driver eps640lp.upp) following both the handbook
chapter on printing & an artcle in freebsddiary.org.
But:
1) If I - running apsfilter SETUP - use the 'T'(est) option, the PC tirin=
gly,
after un unbearable  couple of minutes or so, starts printing  a first ro=
w
of squares of the test picture only, then seems to hang, emitting from ti=
me
to time a (useless) sound. At this point it's better to stop CTRL+Del.

2) If I try to print via lpr -Plp plaintestfile the log under /var/spool/=
lpd/lp
says
"/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter: cannot open /var/spool/l=
pd/lp/lock:
Permission denied"
and doesn't print anything.

Please help.
