Doesn't Slackware use LPRng? As I recall, LPRng always had problems
with apsfilter. There was a special version of apsfilter that you had
to use. I started using magicfilter, instead. Have you tried the
latest version of apsfilter? I thought that it had been rewritten in
Perl. Also, what version of a2ps are you using?
